Summary: Simple yet powerful Yoga DVD
Comment: (Note: This review was written by my wife, Laura...)
This easy-to-follow yoga practice will literally transform your inner world. As the simple moves help open and clear your chakras, you will be simultaneously filled with radiant love.
Your own inner wisdom will start to bubble to the surface the more you perform this yoga session, and you will notice that years of stress and fatigue are melting off of you like butter. For beginners and advanced yogis alike, Maya Fiennes will have your spirit soaring and your body singing as you spiral through her captivating workout.
As if all that wasn't enough, the beautiful music that she has written and composed herself will feel just right for each section of the practice. By far one of the best yoga routines I've tried in my years of doing yoga (about seven) I highly recommend it for anyone seeking mind-spirit-body harmony, inner tranquility, and the keys to enlightenment.

Summary: Excellent Yoga Workout and Body Detox!
Comment: This video is fantastic! The music, the exercises, the mood, and the instructor all make this yoga experience truly amazing! It doesn't "feel" like a workout for most of the video, but by the end you will feel rejuvenated and your body will let you know that it definitely got a workout! If you can't get to a spa and get a body wrap cleanse - this is definitely a great substitute! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: A beginner
Comment: I'm a beginner and I really enjoyed this dvd. I tried it for the first time after a tough leg workout and some time on the stairmaster. I needed something to help me recharge. I'm so glad I picked this because it left me feeling rested and rejuvenated.
It's actually fun! Your mostly on the floor twisting and stretching (with some intense breathing at some points of course). She has a great voice and explains the hows and whys of the movements. The music helps to keep in time with her and keep going when your pooped. Normally, I want to turn off the music in my videos, but this was just perfect for the exercises.
I would definitely purchase another dvd from her.

Summary: Very healing and motivating.
Comment: Kindalini Yoog to detox an destress is wonderful. The work out is not so vigorous that I want to avoid the work out. Instead Maya has a way of making me feel like I have accomplished something. Love, this DVD!

Summary: Great Practice, New Agey Though
Comment: Initial Warning: New Age Cheese Factor is present in this DVD. My boyfriend walked in on me right as Maya was encouraging me to "become the New Aquarian Person!" and he burst out laughing. I don't mind it, being something of a low-key hippy person who talks to her plants and worries about her chakras, but although Boyfriend was interested in joining me for this work out (it does a lot of back stretching and flexing, which since he has a very tense, stiff back, looked appealing to him) he didn't think he could make it through and keep a straight face.
His loss. Still, if being told to become "the new Aquarian Person!" or "We will now chant to strengthen the kidneys" will utterly ruin your enjoyment of a practice, you might, ah, wanna rent this one first. Just in case.
Now, on to the review proper:
This routine can be fairly intense if you're not in shape. It's fun, I like it very much, but it can be quite the work out considering you don't actually *stand up* at any time. That being said, I'm not in the most phenomenal shape of my life at the moment and I can finish this practice. And I enjoy it very much indeed! It is currently part of my regular yoga rotation and I often do the warm up portion of the DVD even on days when I am not doing the full practice. It's very dynamic: you will not hold anything but corpse pose and easy pose. And it's all done sitting or kneeling. Props are not necessary even for We the Inflexible Yogis and Yoginis of the World, which I think would make it great for travel, although I do tend to sit on my yoga mat when I do this practice.
Kundalini yoga is very different from the other hatha yoga styles I've been exposed to. But it's fun, it made my back feel FANTASTIC, the music is great, and I felt reinvigorated and centered after it was done.
