DVD Reviews of Yoga Cleanse - Lighten Up & Purify - with Ana Brett & Ravi Singh
DVD Review: Very nice kundalini yoga practice leaves you feeling refreshed
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I tend to practice mostly hatha yoga, I have tried a couple of Ana and Ravi's newer DVDs and have liked them, and I thought it might be nice to add another Kundalini video to my collection. In particular, I was hoping to find a practice that would leave me feeling energized plus would offer shorter workouts for when I have less time, and after wading through the reviews on Ana and Ravi's older workouts, I thought that Yoga Cleanse might fit the bill. Yoga Cleanse is divided into three segments: a 11.5 minute warm-up, an 18-minute "Love Your Liver" segment, and finally, a 25 minute "Tear Out the Toxins" segment. The segments flow nicely into each other, but there is a brief pause between each section, and the menu also allows you to select them individually. The first thing that I noticed when I began the workout is that the production quality is not quite as impressive as with Ana and Ravi's newer DVDs. Ana is seated in the middle of a somewhat dim studio, and at the start of the practice, Ravi is seated off to the side. Ravi remains on screen to lead Ana through the opening meditation (Om Namu Guru Dev Namu), but for the majority of the practice, the camera focuses on Ana alone. Also different from the new practices is that Ravi alone provides the voiceover instruction; Ana does not speak at all throughout the workout.
As mentioned above, the warm-up begins with a chanting meditation and then moves into a series of moving stretches that includes stomach grinds, neck rolls, and cat/cow. The final exercise incorporates Breath of Fire (BOF) while lying on your back with both your head and feet raised. You then relax on your back for a few moments before rolling up to a seated position for the next segment, Love Your Liver. In this section, you will be working to stimulate your liver function, and so you will repeatedly return to a position of lying on your left side, right leg raised in the air with hand clasping your left foot, and the perform BOF in this position. Other exercises in this segment include transitioning from a seated to standing position without using your hands, bending over so that your torso is parallel to the floor and engaging in BOF, and twisting from side-to-side in a seated position while performing BOF through a curled tongue. I found the final segment, Tear Out the Toxins, to be the most intense. Virtually all of the exercises are dynamic movements (eg, vigorously moving your arms up and down, twisting from side to side), and you continue to perform BOF through a curved tongue, which I found tiring after awhile. After 18 minutes of active practice, the last 5.5 minutes of this segment consist of a 2-minute singing meditation and then a 3.5-minute relaxation and final meditation (Ravi again appears on screen for the final few minutes).
When I tried this video for the first time, it was at the end of the long week, when I was feeling completely tired and worn out. Afterward, I wasn't exactly rejuvenated, but I definitely felt better, and I wasn't nearly as fatigued as I had been. Although Ravi and Ana aren't quite as polished here as they are in their more recent productions, they do a good job with this DVD, and I definitely look forward to using it regularly in the future. Overall, I enjoyed this practice and would rate it 4 1/2 stars.
