My Back, Waist, Love Handle, Hamstring muscles are still aching since yesterday’s workout. This yoga is very dynamic and truly stretches you… Yet I’ve gone too far with the stretching that I’m sore today, but I highly recommend it for those who have not worked their back muscles for a while.
This workout will give you:
-Whole Back Stretch (You’ll be moving in some asanas and stagnant in others)
-Hamstring Stretch (Moving during this stretch)
-Waist and Ab Stretch (You’ll be moving throughout this stretch)
-Inner thigh Stretch (an area I tend to forget)
-Arms & Shoulder Stretch
-Quadriceps and Outer Thigh Stretch (Breathing rapidly while holding the asana making your thighs burn!)
****Used once/twice a month this workout will help your muscles relax and relieve tension buildup.
So far, this is my favorite Ravi Singh & Ana DVD. First let me describe it in detail as I know that will help you in deciding whether or not to buy it. It starts with the Tuning in Mantra-Ong Namo GuruDev Namo 3x. Then there is a breath meditation to use ” so that nothing will get on your nerves” It is 10 sniffs and 1 exhale. Next are standard kundalini warm-up–spinal grinds and flexes. Then there are the standing exercises such as stretching back and down, side to side; leg to leg; wide angle stretch; crow squat with breath of fire, etc. Sitting down stretches are butterfly stretch; one legged stretch with the bent leg in rock pose(if you have bad knees like I do, you will need to put a pillow behind your bent leg OR don’t sit in rock pose. Next is plow pose; cobra pose with wide legs; upward facing bow with breath of fire–this is quite hard as I can not hold upward bow for 2 minutes, which is about how long this exercise is. Instead I do bridge with a block under my tail bone. The last exercise is Sat Kriya. My absolute favorite! Finally there is a relaxation and the Guru Ram Das mantra at the end of class. Overall I love this DVD. What I don’t like is the music. The mantra music is by Wah! and is Reggae style. I don’t like Reggae music so at that point in the DVD I turn it off and put on my favorite version of Guru Ram Das. Ana looks like she wearing her underwear, but since you do kundalini yoga with your eyes closed,I bearly notice her any more. The DVD is accessible to everyone and I’m glad I got it. Hope this review helps you. Oh by the way, all kundalini classes end with the “Long Time Sun” song. Snatam Kaur recorded a very nice version of this closing song. Sat Nam
