Customer Reviews
Well-done DVD provides a wide variety of short kundalini yoga practices to address common complaints
Yoga Quick Fixes is one of the latest offerings from the husband/wife team of Ravi Singh/Ana Brett. In the same style as their previous videos, Quick Fixes features Ana alone on screen, practicing on a small rug in an all-white room, while she and Ravi take turns providing voiceover instruction. You'll recognize some of the music and yoga sequences from their previous videos, but there's plenty that's brand new here as well.
Quick Fixes has over 3 hours of footage, which felt a bit overwhelming to me at first! The Main Menu offers the following options:
*Play DVD
*Tune In
*Breath Primer
*Power Surge Warm-Ups (14 minutes)
*Yoga Quick Fixes
*Yoga Quick Sets
*Deep Relaxation
*3 Amazing Meditations
*Closing Prayer
The Main Menu leads to several sub-menus as described below.
Quick Fixes: Positive PMS (10m), So Long Sciatica (7m), Delete Depression (16m), Digestible You (9m), Asthma No More (5m), Soothe Stress Free Fatigue (8m), Maximize Memory (6m), Headache Helper (6m), Anxiety Antidote (10m), On the Spot Addiction Alternative (16m), Sleep Easy (6m)
Yoga Quick Sets: Energy to Burn (12m), Flexibility & Strength (12m), All Systems Go! (17m), Balance & Joy (16m), Kundalini Yoga Superset (22m)
3 Amazing Meditations: Amazing Minute Breath (6m), So Darshan Chakra Kriya (3.5m), Sa-Ta-Na-Ma Meditation (14m) [These same meditation sequences also appear on Ravi and Ana's other new release, Dr. Yoga House Call.]
On their website and elsewhere, Ravi and Ana recommend that you begin with the Tune-Up and Breath Primer (optional), do the Warm-Ups, and then select from amongst the Quick Fixes and Quick Sets (these shorter sequences are meant to stand alone as well). There is some overlap amongst the segments--for example, some of the Warm-Ups and Quick Fix sequences appear as part of some of the Quick Sets. However, the transitions are virtually seamless, and all of the practices flow very well. Ravi and Ana frequently make statements about what the exercises are designed to do for you (eg, "according to yoga, this will give you _____"), although they generally don't describe exactly how this process works.
If you've never done yoga before, this DVD might not be the best place to start, as Kundalini yoga is fairly distinct from the more traditional forms of hatha yoga with which most people are familiar. Similarly, if you've practiced yoga but are new to Kundalini, be prepared for something a little different--i.e., most of the exercises will not be recognizable as classic postures, there is a lot more movement, and different breathing techniques are used, particularly the Breath of Fire (although I found that BOF was used a little less here than in some of Ravi and Ana's other videos).
Overall, this is an extremely well-produced, well-organized Kundalini yoga video that is a must-have for Ravi/Ana fans.
delicious
Its good to have a background in pilates or dancing before doing Ana and Ravi's programs, but if not, just take it easy and do what you can because it IS challenging. I own Navel Power and the Warrior Workout, which I actually purchased out of simple curiosity. Well it turned to be the most fulfilling exercise I ever tried. Now these Yoga quik Fixes are actually delicious! I'm normaly healthy but no stranger to the aches and pains asociated to emotional ups and downs and stress, so believe me, these workouts will give the body what it realy needs, which is not always reps, going for the burn, ab blasting and stuff like that. When exhausted and burned out I believe these routines deliver what we all want: energy!
I recomend this DVD mostly for those people who are absolutely tired of the beaten path in fitness but want true health and a more natural kind of physical conditioning.
As Always......
I love this DVD and Yoga House Calls. I have completed most of the individual sets. I start with the Tune In and then complete a Warm-Up. After the Warm-Up, I just let the DVD go until I have to stop to relax and meditate. Sometimes I practice for 30 minutes sometimes for 90 minues and this is the flexiblity that you would have with these DVD's. Aside from the convenience, the exercises, meditations and relaxation leave you feeling like you can start the day on a very positive note! I have most of this series and I will continue to rotate these two new DVD's in and out of my rotations. Great job Ravi and Ana. Thank you for putting these together!
