DVD Reviews of AM/PM YOGA - For Beginners & Beyond - ***NEW, NOW WITH THE MATRIX*** --Ana Brett & Ravi Singh
DVD Review: Not typical yoga but a great workout, with a constant breath of fire and tightly controlled movements
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an interesting DVD. I started doing yoga a few months back but hadn't experienced Kundalini at all.
Apparently, if this DVD is indicative of typical Kundalini practice, the form is all about breathing fast and repeating small movements for long periods of time.
The workout is physically exhausting, even though there are no actual 'yoga'-type poses. The routine is, you mostly sit there moving your arms, breathing in and out very fast. Or moving your legs while breathing really fast. Or sitting still and breathing really fast. I was dripping sweat, but barely moving.
The whole routine was rather like tightly controlled aerobics class. With really involved chanting.
There were many meditations interspersed between the moves, which I found different than I was used to - I am used to the savasana being at the end. This is a completely different kind of yoga.
It's possible that this kind of yoga is extremely satisfying to some people, but I don't think this is the kind I would do again. At least not at this time - maybe my tastes will move into that direction later in my practice.
I think the chanting parts would be better if the words were left on the screen more than a moment. It was very hard to remember what I was supposed to be saying.
The AM and PM sections were pretty similar in my estimation. I really have no idea what made either one a morning or night-time set. Each part is about a half hour, but one can do the whole disc in 90 minutes (including the intro, breathing instruction, warm-up and meditations).
The menu offers a choice of playing the entire DVD or pieces at a time. There is a brief intro to the various breathing techniques (slow breathing and Breath of Fire) and an short warm-up to the AM or PM parts.
Instructor Ana Brett sits on a small round white rug in a white room. It's kind of neat that you can't see the walls - it looks like she is on a magic carpet floating in an ethereal plane. She has her eyes closed during most of the routine and we only hear her voice during the introduction to breathing and during the chanting/singing.
We don't see the other instructor, Ravi Singh, at all but hear his voice during the routines. His voice is low and soothing. During each set, he talks about how the poses are helping different organs and bodily systems.
Although this style of yoga is not to my preference, I did get a fantastic workout and know my core will be sore tomorrow.
Overall, the DVD is probably not for people seeking a typical yoga experience. It might be very well-done as far as Kundalini goes, but it's so not what I was expecting during my beginner's yogic learning curve.
A good, alternative yoga program with lots of chanting for Kundalini yogis or fitness fans open to experimenting.
