  This is Kundalini Yoga with Ana and Ravi! different to other forms of yoga that you may have experienced! I had practiced Hatha yoga (a beautiful practice) for over a year before I discovered Kundalini Yoga. I soon realised that Kundalini was what I had been waiting for, I resonate with it completely and have been working regularly in the mornings with Kundalini Yoga for over a year....I look forward to it every day!
  
  So on with the review.
  
  The production of the DVD is of high quality. The setting is visually pleasing with images of the sea and greenery in the background, there is a buddha, lotus flowers and nice spacious area where Ana demonstrates the class. The sound quality is good and the music uplifting and inspiring......I like it.
  
  You have many options with this DVD and this includes a 'Breath Primer' that you will find in the Chapter selections, this is especially good if you are new to Kundalini Yoga as you will be taught the long deep breathing and the 'breath of fire' which are used during the class.
  
  You can design your own workout, which is great if you are restricted by time etc, with the 'matrix' menu options. If you don't know how to use the 'matrix' then there is a tutorial section which you access from the main menu. Ana and Ravi have prepared some 'pre sets' that you can work with which are: Getting Started 56 mins, Intermediate workout 54 mins, Quick uplift 40 mins, Tranformer express 40 mins, Transformer express 35 mins. Or you can play the DVD through which is another great option!

  Ana and Ravi give clear instruction and encourage you throughout as well as giving additional information about the benefits of doing this amazing class. Ana demonstrates beautifully. I am so comfortable with their way of teaching which I find to be gentle and inspiring. This DVD is a favourite and I will be rotating it often throughout my practice in the week.
  
  Thanks to Ana and Ravi for producing such wonderful DVD classes.
