DVD Reviews of Om Yoga and Meditation

DVD Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars

This product is very cool and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to incorporate meditation into their yoga practice. It DVD is divided into 4 sections - each with a 15 minute meditation lesson and a 15 minute complete yoga practice. The final section also contains a guided meditation by David, which is a neat way to tie everything together you learn in the earlier sections. There is also a music CD in the box for your own personalized practice. Both David and Cyndi are amazing, warm teachers who make yoga and meditation approachable and fun. Another great product from OM!

DVD Review: Not for beginners!
Summary: 2 Stars

There is way too much talking and detailed explanations. If you're looking for a quick yoga exercise, this DVD is not for you.

DVD Review: not om yoga FAST YOGA !!!
Summary: 2 Stars

i love yoga and am welling to try new styles of yoga I had borrow this DVD from a studio I was not happy - i guess I like to take my time with yoga and really feel everything ! I have done yoga only at the studio with a group and i wanted to take my practice home So I thought this DVD would help well it wasn't helpful they rushed everything it wasn't even POWER YOGA! They didn't let you enjoy the breathing or letting you stay in poses they had a like 3 ppl and the teacher and they went so fast! Also the meditation was NOT meditation it was this FAST 2min breathing and then they moved on!!! I wouldn't pay for this DVD

DVD Review: Horrible
Summary: 1 Stars

Just horrible, you don't get a good yoga practise every segment is so short that just when you start to warm up it is over.

DVD Review: FAB!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD rocks. Cyndi and David are generous, knowledgeable, deeply compassionate teachers. They are humourous and light-hearted, as well as incredibly precise and gentle in their teaching. The style is accessible and inspiring. What a joy to practice!

Yoga and meditation made FUN.

Description of Om Yoga and Meditation

This package offers everything you need to practice yoga and meditation at home. The DVD includes four yoga and five meditation sessions, each about fifteen minutes long. The music CD features Krishna Das, Christopher Guest, Sultan Khan, David Nichtern, tj Rehmi, Emilia, and Steve Gorn & Jamie Lawrence. The booklet, written by David and Cyndi, contains info on yoga, meditation practice, how to get started, how to keep going, and more. Cyndi is an internationally acclaimed yoga teacher and David Nichtern, a highly regarded teacher in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition, has taught thousands of students worldwide.
The practice of yoga is sometimes referred to as a "moving meditation," a physical but still inwardly-directed undertaking in which the breath takes the place of a spoken or chanted mantra. By offering separate instruction in those two disciplines, Cyndi Lee and David Nichtern's Om Yoga and Meditation obviously eliminates the need for any such distinction. The program is divided into for parts (with titles like "Making Friends with Yourself" and "Obstacles as Path"), each with a meditation and yoga section presented side by side. Nichtern, whom some will recognize as the songwriter responsible for Maria Muldaur's '70s hit "Midnight at the Oasis" (this package also contains a music CD featuring his and other musicians' work), handles the former; he's clearly very experienced, but while his talks offer a plenty of valuable guidelines into the shamatha (mindfulness) practice, it isn't until the simple but very effective "guided meditation" segment in Part Four that students actually get to try the practice themselves. Lee, meanwhile, leads users through the four yoga segments, each about fifteen minutes long. The drawback here is the same one found on many, many yoga videos: too much action and not nearly enough teaching. The DVD booklet's claim that these sequences are designed for both beginning and intermediate students is misleading at best. While Lee's attention to the breath (also a central component of meditation) is commendable, the pace is way too quick for inexperienced users; what's more, difficult asanas like chaturanga (the lowered push-up position), ardha chandrasana (balancing half-moon pose), vasisthasana (side-slant pose), and a variety of others that are challenging even for veteran yogis are presented with precious little instruction at all. To her credit, Lee advises newcomers to watch these segments before attempting them, but even that won't do much good in the absence of thorough, detailed coaching. All in all, Om Yoga and Meditation is a good idea that's hampered by less than scintillating execution --Sam Graham
