Kundalini Yoga: Green Energy of the Heart - All-In-One Workout (ALL LEVELS) by Ana Brett & Ravi Singh

Nothing keeps me inspired to practice yoga quite like the Ana Brett and Ravi Singh DVDs.  The newest release from this husband and wife team is their best by far.  Ana is lovelier than ever.  As with their previous videos, Green Energy of the Heart features Ana practicing alone, this time against a plain white backdrop with only a mat adorned by butterflies for decoration.  Ana and Ravi take turns providing voice over instruction.  I really like the plain white backdrop, much better than the some of the other backgrounds in older DVDs.  The white provides less distraction.  

This DVD puts me in such a nice place, feeling loving, kind, gracious and in harmony with myself and all of life.  Ana and Ravi's signature style of Kundalini Yoga is the best of both ancient technique, interlaced with a modern and fresh appeal.  The depth, beauty and power of yoga are presented in their finest attire in Green Energy of the Heart.  Ana is one of the great yoginis of our time and these DVD's have a timelessness to them.  I cannot say enough good things here.  The productions is excellent and the routine is amazing.  Lots of backbending this time round.  They have included the matrix, which allows you to create your own workout.  This is a great feature to the DVD because sometimes I only want to practice for a little bit and this makes it really easy to do so. 

When I do this DVD in the morning I am smiling all day.   I have begun to practice in the evening too, which keeps me in this positive place until I am ready to practice again the next morning.  It is enjoyable and challenging, great for beginners and those who have been practicing for a long time.  This DVD has it all: stretching, ab work, a great cardio element, total body toning and of course Kundalini Yoga's dynamic blend of movement breathing and asana bliss.
