Powerful Attunement
I have now purchased Steve Murray's... "Reiki Healing Attunement", "Reiki 1st Level Attunements", "Reiki 2nd Level" and "Master Attunement".
I was very impressed with the healing energy that comes forth through these much needed DVD'S of Reiki attunements.

However, if you are looking for information on the history of Reiki, you will not find it here. There are many wonderful books out there for that kind of knowledge, but if you are truly interested in receiving Reiki attunements then these are the DVD's I recommend. If you are wanting attunements to be able to heal yourself, others and this beautiful world we live in, then Steve's DVD Attunements are for you.

I was blown away by the love I felt and the flow of positive energy. The attunements are powerful! I am so eternally thankful someone stepped outside their comfort zone and made Reiki attunements available at such an affordable price. Reiki is needed now more than ever. This is truly healing for the now and the future.

If you are interested in making a positive difference in yourself, and others, I urge you to get these Reiki attunements. And don't let people tell you that to be able to receive attunements you have to do it in secret, and it has to cost a lot of money. Reiki energy is a gift from God and is a free, loving energy to anyone that has a desire for healing.

I thank Steve for having a vision for the betterment of everyone!

This will honor you where you are, and inspire you to go beyond your impossibilities!

It's Like Finding Hidden Treasure!
I find myself lacking the words to describe how Steve Murray's
Video's have changed my life.
I first purchased Reiki Level One Attunement And the Reiki Psychic Attunement Video from Steve almost two years ago.
After the third time I watched Steve's tapes I was on the internet chat room known as yahoo and a young woman that was very distressed over the death of her friend and her mother who died over a year ago was in the chatroom.
I felt so sorry for her and wished with all my heart that I could help her.
Suddenly these names and faces came to me and started communicating to me for her.
I knew her mom and friends name ,how they passed and their was a very long conversation.The young lady was so happy and relieved to here from them and that was the day I began my work as a psychic medium.
Since then I have bought every tape of Steve's I could get my hands on.
I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful this has been for me and how many people have been helped by my gifts being brought froth and I owe it all to Steve Murray.
Thank You Steve!

Learn Reiki the affordable way! :-)
Up until a few months ago I had no idea that I could learn Reiki because of the price many were charging. I had all but given up hope on ever affording to learn this healing modality. I had heard from friends who learned Reiki about the $$$PRICE$$$ they payed to learn Reiki. Ouch! I basically had forgotten about wanting to learn Reiki (because of sticker shock) until I came across on Amazon.com Steve Murray's attunment videos and guide by accident. Let me tell you this mode of getting the attunments REALLY WORKS!
Another Reiki Master doubted the ability of getting the attunments via a VHS or DVD, but I was open minded because of all of the spiritual seeking and experiences I have had in my life. The Reiki Master discouraged me and like reverse psychology, I went ahead and purchased them anyway. I guess No means Yes to me.
My experience with the attunment video's were VERY POWERFUL. I felt like I was in a trance (I am sure I was) and the room became very bright white and cloudy. It felt as if an Ascended Master could have walked right in the room with me at any moment.
I could most definitely feel the energy!
By the end of the attunments it felt like I had slapped my hands together so hard and could feel the energy, tingling and heat in my hands and even in my feet. Purchasing the guide book is really something you should do if you are going to get the attunment video's or DVD's. They go hand in hand. Money well spent!
I have since been using Reiki on myself, my son and even a wild bird who flew into my sliding glass door. I have also done a session on my Mom who was sick in Brazil on a trip while I was at my home in California and also to a sick friend in Arizona.
Owning the attunment videos is so wonderful because I can reattune anytime and as often as I like.
Thanks Steve for being a Maverick and making it possible for me and others like me to afford to learn Reiki!!!
Love and Light to all!
Kim

Excellently produced and World Class! Beautifully Done!!
I bought the Level I and II attunements by Video. They are great to use as attunements and as reinforcements to your healing energy. These videos are world class, and like Steve's book, get right to the point. The videos are inspiring and set in beautiful natural settings. The footage and music, the backgrounds and the presentation are extremely well done and professional. It didn't take me but a few moments to get into the mood of things and tune right in to the meditative state. Steve guides the viewer to a relaxed and receptive state of mind. The music in this particular attunement reached deep inside my being and stimulated my energy centers. I experienced some unsual, but pleasant and positive sensations and knew I had been given a real reiki treatment during the attunement. If you are a skeptic and want a quick fix way to get an attunement, it might not do anything for you. But if you are sincere, and your heart and mind are open, and your mind is clear, and you are sensitive and humble, you definitely will feel and receive the Reiki energy that Steve transfers into these videos. I did. I actively began using the Reiki and symbols after my attunements and they worked instantly. I think these videos and DVD's work hand-in-hand with Steve's books and are worth being in the healer's collection to be used over and over again for recharging and strengthening the Reiki healer.

Thank You ! Steve
Thanks to Steve Murray for making available to all who seek this, an affordable system that works. I have recieved all three levels of attunement and My life is truly changed for the better. Not to mention the great change in my massage practitioners business. I offer Reiki with the massage for a total experience. The DVDs and The Book are wonderfull. Easy to follow and read. Anyone interested in Reiki should buy these. ... Read more

not a workout
This dvd does not provide any kind of aerobic workout whatsoever, only a couple of short routines that I will never use.I was very disappointed.

Aerobic--uh I don't think so
The title of this DVD makes it sound like it's something really advanced (and aerobic).But actually the first two DVDs in Carmen's set are much more physically challenging than this one.This DVD is kind of a cheesy joke.It consists of two 10 minute strip routines which require dressing up.The first one is a "sexy librarian."To do the routine as Carmen demonstrates you need some glasses and a scarf.The next routine is wearing men's clothing--a big button shirt, a tie, and a really stupid hat.Taking these items off is an integral part of the routine, although there is no actual nudity involved.

The routines are too slow and short to actually count as aerobic.So this DVD is useful for one thing...learning some strip routines to act out for your significant other.Although I think I could make some up that wouldn't seem as embarassingly silly as parts of this DVD.

I was looking for a fun dance routine that would get my heart pumping but this is definately not it! ... Read more

The Best Tamilee Workout Yet!
This is my favorite workout!!! I am amazed that a 15 minute workout can sculpt my muscles like this one does.

The abs and arms workout focus mostly on the arms so if you are trying for six pack abs you'll have to do all three workout in one session. I love the fact that Tamilee concentrates on building arms in this video. I have my grandmother's big arms and this video has sculpted my arms into a much more desirable shape! The abs portion of the workout is good and has definitely shaped my upper abs but I really love it for the arm workouts.

The lower body workouts are great too! This is the first workout video that I've viewed in a while that works the inner and outer thighs. I like the fact that there are sliding lunges because it is a little easier on my knees. All in all this video is great for the body and it only take 15 minutes a day! ... Read more

Spicy hot and energetic, this well-designed, fun-filled Crunch Cardio Salsaworkout keeps you burning body fat as you dance, wave your arms, and swing your hips to live drums with a Latin flair. Salsa, meringue, samba, and cha cha steps highlight these high-energy aerobic dance patterns, taught one step at a time, then building gradually into combinations. The footwork is fast-moving but not difficult to learn, thanks to the careful way perky instructor Giselle Roque de Escobar teaches and cues. She performs the workout accompanied by 6 bare-bellied women and one man, and an exuberant and skillful drummer. Everyone is fit, young, lean, and enthusiastic. The workout heats up quickly and burns for 40 minutes. Recommended for aerobic dance fans who want to spice up their workouts with a Latin flavor. --Joan Price ... Read more

Great Cardio Fun!
This workout is a lot of fun and aerobic enough to get me into my training heart zone (moderate level; this isn't Tae Bo!!)I've only had it a month, and I can't stop working out to it! It's made my weekly rotation--and I'm picky.

I do exercise videos 5-6 days a week and have lost 40 lbs doing them (with a reasonable diet). So, I take my video selections seriously. I've purchased more than 100 videos, but many of them are rejects because the workout isn't aerobic enough, it's boring, the instructor is uninspiring, etc. This Cardio Salsa Video, on the other hand, has so much going for it:
1) The instructor is lively, and breaks down the moves so they are easy to learn.

2) The workout is presented in six segments--so the time flies. Before you know it, you're off doing the next segment, Salsa, Samba,Merengue (my favorite)and more. This short segment approach keeps the workout very fresh for those like me who want to do a video regularly and not just once or twice.

3)The workout incorporates large arm movements and some jumps, so even someone who is fit (like me) can get their heart rate into the moderate intensity zone. Put some energy behind the moves, and you will get a good workout! OK, it's not the strenous workout of Tae Bo, but it's not too easy like a lot of Latin tapes out there that are only good for "light days" or are in my reject pile.

4) The live drummer Ravi and his drumming add something special to the video. He's on several other Crunch videos, and I've liked all the ones he's on.

Are you a beginner or someone who does not like dancy videos? Stick with it; you'll learn these short routines in 2 or 3 times through the video and you WILL be converted to an Aerobic Latin style enthusiast thanks to Giselle and her good choreography.

A great workout!
This is a lot of fun. It's great if you like something a little different from the ordinary. I get bored easily, so each week I switch around between hatha/kundalini yoga, TaeBo Cardio, Tae Bo Master Blaster (with weights) and dancing/jump rope/Nordictrack (I did say I get bored, yes?). And my work requires that I be able to lift/carry 40 lbs. I don't have the time to go to a fitness center and don't care to get all jazzed up to do so. I prefer to do my own thing at home and this program is perfect for that. I've done okay by watching my diet and using this and the other videos/DVDs.

The instructor is energenic and vibrant, and although I'm a total klutz when it comes to learning dance moves, she goes about it at a nice enough pace that after a few sessions I even got the hang of it. The warmup works smoothly into the following routines. The beat of the music fits well with the moves, and you just have to have fun doing it! The 40 minutes goes by so fast it's amazing.

If you're looking for a very fast paced, aerobic, "take your breath away" exercise routine, this is *not* it. But if you're looking for something to work that heart, limber up and shed some calories along the way, try it!

I just returned this video
I buy a lot of exercise videos and consider myself pretty coordinated, but this video was rediculous. It's dance based and Giselle combines some moves that don't really flow together. I also had a hard time understanding Giselle as she does have a little accent. I didn't feel she described the moves very well. Perhaps if you have a strong dance background this video would be appropriate, otherwise pick up Fat Burning Pilates.

Latin Fun
I love this workout DVD. Giselle is perky, but not overly so, and takes you through the steps at a good pace. It's slow enough to catch on during the routine, but not so slow that repeat workouts get monotonous. I was so engaged learning the steps and keeping up that I didn't realize how sweaty I was getting the first time! A great workout for people that like to be entertained/occupied instead of "feeling the burn."
The dance steps really work the calves, hips, and saddlebag area. Yay for Latin dancing!

Not if you want to sweat
I enjoyed the video and the smooth moves. However it does not qualify as a workout- too easy and you barely break a sweat. ... Read more

Excellent buy
I've loved Jillina's style since I first saw her so I was very excited when this affordable set of DVDs came out. When I started belly dancing just four years ago, all that was available from reputable dancers were VHS tapes at 3-4X the price! In this video, Jillina teaches a fun choreography to a shortened version of a classic Egyptian song. This is not a routine for a completely inexperienced dancer. Some of the transitions are a bit rapid for a total novice. It is a good challenge for someone who has already taken some belly dance lessons. My only complaint is that the camera man often zooms in on Jillina's upper body and midsection during the practice session when I would like to see what her feet are doing! Overall, it's certainly worth the price!

Excellent, and a bargain too....
I'm so glad I didn't let the couple of bad reviews here put me off, as I would have missed out on three excellent DVDs, which teach great choreographies in a very clever way - using a mirror to show both views. Jillina is professional, she obviously knows her stuff, and her instructions, though brief, are to the point and use imagery that helped me finally "get" a couple of moves I never did before. She doesn't wear a long flowing skirt that obscures her legs to teach, which is a great help.

Last but not least, Jillina has a lovely figure, with well defined hips - not that a woman with a straight up and down body couldn't belly dance, of course - but hips do help. I personally have wide hips - but her well proportioned body didn't upset me (grin) as I don't buy bellydance videos to give me affirmation....... how sad for those who do.....

Amazon needs to do some policing of reviews. The amount of bitchy reviews I read on this site are something else. They do seem to home in on the bellydance videos - so I suppose it could be some kind of reverse marketing. We have all read the stories about authors reviewing their own books, and roping in friends to add more reviews. The opposite is obviously also happening. What people who write racist and virulent reviews don't realise is that the majority of people who frequent this site are intelligent - otherwise they wouldn't be able to get their brains round the net! Intelligent people recognise personalised attacks for what they are. I take note of reviews that advise of bad production values and so on, but anything that criticises a dancer because she is the wrong race to bellydance would actually push me to buy it. The one video I have by someone who I suppose would be the "right" race is incomprehensible. So much for that! Beth from South Berwick puts it right when she says to keep racist comments to oneself.

So, my dear one star viewers from CA and Ithaca, you should know that your reviews had the opposite effect in my case! Hope that made your day.....

Jillina is the Best
All I have to say is that ALL of Jillina's DVD's are awesome!
In Reply to "wonderbread bellydance"
Do you know who Jillina is? She is one of the best belly dancers in the U.S! Hello... this is level one, you don't expect her to give you a full blown performance. Try her "Egyptian Choreography" or check out the "Belly Dance Superstars" DVD. I promise you will be impressed.

Jillina is the Ultimate instructor!!
I am a huge fan of Jillina so I knew that I would not be dissappointed with my purchase...and I was right. If you are out of shape or not a belly dancer already, I can see how this instruction might be a little tough for you. But with a little self-discipline, practice and dedication, you will be moving and shimmying with no problem. Don't skip over any sections as they are all related to each other and help you to learn the correct techniques. If you are already a belly dancer, you will come away from this instruction with new choreographies, great combos and a clearer understanding of crucial movements and techniques that are sure to enhance your performances!

A good video at a good price
This DVD is great for dancers who don't need to be guided through every little step. If you know basic moves, this will work for you. She teaches the moves quickly, but well! No need to repeat a move a million times. Just learn it and move on. If you don't need a DVD to hold your hand through practicing moves yourself, you'll like how quickly she progresses. The real meat of this DVD is the combinations and choreography. I loved the choreography, and the combos are very useful to have at hand. Lastly, she demonstrated the choreography, although altered and with more dancing added, in front of a small audience in a lovely costume. The camera angles are appropriate. The set is good, as well as the sound. The price is very reasonable. Jillina is smiling and happy, classy, and professional as always.

Lastly, comments made by other reviewers insinuating that Jillina is "fake" and a bad dancer because she isn't middle eastern are just plain uncalled for. Jillina's style may not be Dina's, but she does her style and she does it well. I may not always like her style myself, but I can recognize talent. She is obviously a talented dancer, and if you can't see past her ethnicity to see that, then you shouldn't be writing reviews. Keep your racist comments to yourself. ... Read more

Do it for your Kids - BUY IT
There really isn't a lot I can say that hasn't already been said by the other reviews. This program is AWESOME - Period!!!
Get your kids up, get them active. Is this possible? Yes, choose this program.
Great Job!!!!

Incredible, Great, Excellent
This is absolutely the most incredible program I've EVER seen. I generally don't write reviews, because most exercise programs I've seen don't deserve the time it takes to write one. So if I'm taking the time to write this one, let me tell you it is worth it. The words incredible, great, and excellent don't even come close to describing this program, I just couldn't think of any more powerful words to use.
The guy on this video, Rich Grogan, has really got something with this program. First of all he is fun, and entertaining for the kids. And the kids that are actually in the video are having fun (genuine fun, none of this paid actors fun), they're feeding off of Rich's positive energy, and having a good time with it. This is one of the major hooks that pulls you in, these kids are glowing with fun, energy, and excitement, and it is basically thrown into your living room when you watch the video. My kids at home can't just sit on the couch and watch this program, they have to get up and actually do the program. It is almost like some super-natural force grabs them and pulls them on the floor to begin exercising with Rich & the kids. I know this may sound strange, and I am sure some people are saying to themselves, "there is NO way my kid would be this excited about an exercise program". Well, I'm telling you it is true. And, it's not like my kids have only watched the program once or twice, we have basically wore out our VHS copy, and that is why we bought the DVD, which is even better, because now we can skip through to certain parts of the program when we are short on time. What I've been doing in the mornings, before summer camp, I'll get the kids up and pick a section of the video (DVD) and have them do that section before we leave for summer camp, or do the same at night before bed. I really would have thought by now that my kids would be tired of this video, but the way Rich has set the program up, it is still challenging for them. Rich continually tells the kids to have fun, and to do their very best, and to just do what they can. But he makes the program so darn fun that the kids really apply themselves, and do what they can to become better at the moves. Anyway, Rich does sets of 15 instead of the normal set of 5 or 10, this way, as he explains it, the kids can continue to advance within the program, because maybe they can only do 5 push ups or jumping jacks when they first start the program, but the goal is to reach 15, so they have to keep practicing at it. Another interesting thing Rich does is, he has the kids visualize they are grabbing apples & oranges instead of punching each other, or an imaginary opponet. At first I thought this was a little goofy, but once again as Rich explains it, it takes the violent aspect out of the technique, it makes it more fun for the kids, and if the kids pretend they are grabbing something they get a better stretch throughout the entire movement, both forward & back.
Did I say this video was Incredible?
I could list about 10 more things, but I think you get the picture. I'm telling you, BUY THIS FOR YOUR KIDS, it's amazing!
Hey Rich, if you read this, Your program is the greatest! Thank you from me & my kids!
Sincerely,
Thomas Jacobbson & Family

A Wonderful fitness video for kids
This is an absolute wonderful video. This is a great workout for the kids, but it isn't too fast or too tough. I've seen several kid's videos, and of course the kids liked them, but they quickly lost interest because it was too fast or too tough, or too boring. This is one reason the kids love this video, it is very exciting & fun, and THEY CAN DO IT, which gives them a sense of accomplishment. Don't get me wrong, the video still provides the kids with a challenge, but it is a challenge they can overcome with practice. And practice is what my kids do with this video, we've had this video for 2 months, and the kids still enjoy doing it. Unbelievable, considering the fact that kids are bored with most things after one use.
Give this one a shot, you'll be impressed!

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!!
This program is 100% great. My kids love this video, they can't get enough of it. I bet we have played this video 20 times, and they still ask to watch it again. The children in this video are truly having a great time, and it shows. They are feeding off of Mr. Grogan's energy & his great personality, and just having a fun time. My kids, and I am sure most kids enjoy watching other kids have fun, it just makes them want to be a part of it, and that is what this video does. It makes the kids feel like they are part of the class. 5 Stars & 2 Thumbs up for this one.

WOW - The most incredible program I've ever seen
This program is absolutely amazing. I have NEVER seen kids respond to a program, (especially an exercise program) the way kids respond to this one. I just put the tape (Now the DVD)in and the kids are lost in a world of exercise. I am sure this sounds crazy, especially how kids are today about exercising, but I swear it's the truth. I read several of the other reviews and I wasn't quite sure my kids would be as wrapped up in the video as others had stated. - I was wrong. My kids LOVE IT, we have played the tape over 25 times, and now we have the DVD (which is great), and I don't know how many times we are going to play it.
Take my word for it, this program is the most incredible program I've ever seen for kids. ... Read more

Feeling Better About Myself
I found myself out of shape after some time of not exercising and eating too much I guess.

When I tried to get back into shape I was discouraged because it was hard for me to do some more strenuous exercises after not doing anything. A friend recommended yoga to me as part of a plan to get back into shape, and I found this DVD a few months ago, and it has started to work.

I am careful with what I eat, and use this DVD often. My flexibility is starting to return and so is my energy. I like the intructors encouragement, and her interview is great. Sometimes when I feel discouraged or think I can never get back into shape, I watch that part again.

The various routines and times are a big plus for me, and her instruction is very good. If you are looking for something to help you I would suggest this title as part of whatever you are doing to get back in shape.

The one thing that I should also mention is that it is not an aerobic exercise, though you will feel it and sweat at points. If you are looking for something that is more "power", then this may not be the DVD for you and you should probably not get it. If you are looking for something to help you get back on track, then this is perfect.

Useful for informative purposes.
I will definintely continue working through this DVD. The instructor is indeed extremely knowledgeable with incredible form. On the other hand, each routine is not a flowing practice. Each asana is filmed seperately, and then they're stuck together to form the different routines. It's a bit more reliant on props (blankets, blocks) than I prefer. It also really seemed too fast paced for beginners, and there seems to be almost no emphasis on when and how to breathe. What bothered me the most perhaps was I felt like I was listening to an over-syrupy, stereotypical kindergarten teacher. (Nothing against kindergarten teachers - they have a hard job and I admire them.) Still, by the end of the routines, I want to reach through the set and throttle the woman for being so saccharine. Still, I think that warmth and soft, high-pitched voice is soothing for some people. I will keep watching to learn new postures, but I think I'm going to stick with just doing what I've learned to music and not the DVD.

Former Lazy Person
Hitting the gym wasn't for me, so I tried Yoga Complete for Weight Loss. I felt so much better about myself and how I look. After six weeks I lost a few pounds and was more energetic. Being that I used to be a lazy person, I look forward everyday to using Yoga Complete for Weight Loss. I no longer feel reluctant to work out. Not only did I lose weight but my inner strength improved as well. This dvd is great for anyone who hate to workout or never workout before.

Helping Me Reach My Goals
I am a few pounds over than where I want to be and I got this DVD to help. The pace and exercises at the beginning levels are perfect for someone like me and there are a huge amount of poses and many routines to target different goals such as increasing your metabolism and building core strength. There are two other levels, Intermediate and Advanced, that I have looked at but not tried. Her interview is very nice for getting to know the instructor and understanding the purpose and approach of the DVD. If you want a way to learn yoga and help you lose weight, then this DVD is for you.

yoga complete for weight loss
This DVD is boring unmotivating. IF you are looking for a power yoga tape this is not it. The woman seems to know about 4 postures and repeats them until you want to scream. If you prefer a more fluid yoga workout I'd recommend something else. The benifit is you do feel good after one of the workouts. If you are a beginner this might be a good start, but if you have trained in yoga before this would not be a good tape to purchase. ... Read more

Great set for any level
I recently got this set of DVDs. I have been doing workouts on video like the Firm, Cathe, Pilates and Yoga for some time and I was looking for something different. These workouts are along the same lines as yoga or pilates in that they are lower impact and rely on the weight of the body for muscle shaping. Stretching is also an important factor in all of the workouts. Some of the workouts use weights to enhance the results and they all use a bar but the bar is not necessary and can be replaced by a piece of furniture or even a body shaping stick or other weighted balancing bar.

The DVDs include a special Blast section which is actually a separate workout (not just a compilation) and it is a higher intensity short piece that is great to use to compliment your workouts or to do on their own.

These workouts are great to do on their own or do combine with other activities that you may already be doing. They will enhance almost any exercise routine by adding some variety and extra challenges for the muscles.

Tones and lengthens muscles
I bought this set about 2 months ago and I do one of the workouts every other day (each dvd is 30 minutes long). I really love the Lotte Berk Method- it is very different from anything I've done before. It focuses on toning the muscle and then stretching right after to result in long lean legs and arms.

The instructors are great- not annoying at all. The workouts fly by so fast but you will feel the effects right away and the next day of course.

These workouts do not have any cardio in them but they do make you sweat if you do the excercises right - which is easy. I have noticed that my arms are definately more defined- especially my triceps. I am short but I notice a huge difference in how my legs are looking- slimmer and lean. There is no doubt that these workouts produce results but the trick is to stick with it. Consistency is key.

Fun, but ultimately only beneficial for beginners
I want to start by saying that I really enjoyed doing all of these DVDs and looking forward to them kept me motivated to workout everyday. However, after two months the results have been minimal. I'm already in pretty good shape, not looking to lose weight, and I was hoping these exercises would help to tone some of my trouble spots, but I haven't really seen much of a difference. I'm especially skeptical about the abs sections on some of these videos, particularly the video devoted to abs work. They don't seem intense enough to actually effect any sort of change and I never, ever felt sore afterwards. I will admit that I have some trouble holding the necessary pelvic tilt during abs work but I have become very skilled at holding it during standing exercises so I don't think my "form" is the reason I haven't seen any results. That being said, I have noticed that I am finally able to really hold in my abs and/or tuck under during other types of workouts and I attribute that new ability to these videos.

My biggest overall concern, however, is that there are no advanced videos available. These videos all have 10 minute advanced workouts that tease that there is much more to this method than they can reasonably include on these "beginner" level videos. I find this pretty frustrating since there seem to be no advanced workouts in the making and, not living in Connecticut or New York, I have no access to any Lotte Berk Method studios. The bottom line is this: I think it is entirely probable that the Lotte Berk (and the similar Bar Method) classes taught in studios are extremely beneficial for building and sculpting muscle, but the workouts on these videos are simply too basic to achieve real results. If you haven't exercised in a while or are new to exercise entirely, these workouts are likely to be both enjoyable and beneficial. However, if you are in reasonably good shape and, like me, have trouble fitting exercise into a busy schedule, they are impractical for more than once or twice a week usage as they provide no real cardio effect and only minimal strengthening.

Callanetics Was First
Great stuff, but do look back at the Callanetics Videos. Callen Pinckney worked out all the flaws in this system. You get immediate and dramatic results with minimal effort and no back or knee stress.

Best workout I've ever done
As a 30 year old woman with a cabinet full of dusty yoga and Pilates DVDs, I can't speak highly enough of this set. I always lose interest in an exercise routine after a few weeks, but I'm still doing this one religiously every other morning. The fact that there are four different DVDs that I alternate helps, but I also love the workout and the positive, encouraging attitude of the instructors. I feel energized all day afterwards. I also love the fact that my body looks absolutely incredible after four weeks of doing Lotte Berk. Honestly, if this were a cult, I'd say "Pass me the Kool-Aid!" ... Read more

Great workout for day or night
So far, this is my favorite Ravi Singh & Ana DVD. First let me describe it in detail as I know that will help you in deciding whether or not to buy it.It starts with the Tuning in Mantra-Ong Namo GuruDev Namo 3x.Then there is a breath meditation to use " so that nothing will get on your nerves"It is 10 sniffs and 1 exhale.Next are standard kundalini warm-up--spinal grinds and flexes.Then there are the standing exercises such as stretching back and down, side to side; leg to leg; wide angle stretch; crow squat with breath of fire, etc.Sitting down stretches are butterfly stretch; one legged stretch with the bent leg in rock pose(if you have bad knees like I do, you will need to put a pillow behind your bent leg OR don't sit in rock pose.Next is plow pose; cobra pose with wide legs; upward facing bow with breath of fire--this is quite hard as I can not hold upward bow for 2 minutes, which is about how long this exercise is.Instead I do bridge with a block under my tail bone. The last exercise is Sat Kriya.My absolute favorite!Finally there is a relaxation and the Guru Ram Das mantra at the end of class.Overall I love this DVD.What I don't like is the music.The mantra music is by Wah! and is Reggae style.I don't like Reggae music so at that point in the DVD I turn it off and put on my favorite version of Guru Ram Das.Ana looks like she wearing her underwear, but since you do kundalini yoga with your eyes closed,I bearly notice her any more.The DVD is accessible to everyone and I'm glad I got it.Hope this review helps you.Oh by the way, all kundalini classes end with the "Long Time Sun" song.Snatam Kaur recorded a very nice version of this closing song.Sat Nam

Feedback on Ravi/Ana DVDs
3 months ago I got the 3 Ravi and Ana DVD's(Warrior Workout, Ultimate Stretch and Navel Power) and they are the most interesting workouts I have ever done.I have had many years of neck and shoulder pains. I had been seeing a chiropractor 2X a week for a month before I read about these tapes and tried them. I tried the Warrior First(probably a mistake)and ended up feeling more tight in my neck and shoulders then I already did.By the time I went to sleep that night though I started feeling really good. I slept like a baby and by the morning I felt better then I have in years.
I canceled a couple of my chiropractor appointments because I felt so good. They kept calling me and I finally went in to show them how good I was doing. I had all the doctors coming in and listening to my story aboutdoing the Kundalini Yoga DVD's They were amazed at how fluid my back really was now. I have been continuing with these DVD's and still maintain more openess and less tension in my neck and shoulders.
I plan to purchase their other DVD's to help me further explore Kundalini Yoga.
Thank you Ravi and Ana for giving me the opportunity to have this experience in my life.

I love this DVD
I love this DVD for what it does for my back. I am much stronger in all my back bending poses. My hips feel freeer and I feel like I have found an extra inch in my spine. People have asked me if I've gotten taller! I do this two times a week. This is my Sunday and Wednesday morning ritual.

Very very very excellent DVD's!
About 1,5 year ago the person I go to for SHIATSU , started to attend Kundalini-yoga-classes in Amsterdam.
He became very, no, extremely enthousiastic and soon he started to teach me a bit at the beginning or end of the shiatsu. And so I started reading about Kundalini and got through him my first Kundalini tape, and soon after I bought the Ravi &Ana Total Tune Up and Yoga Cleanse DVD's.
Now I bought the newest DVD's and I amthrilled with the new workouts!
The Kundalini yoga helped me very much to get out of a very serious depression, to structure and motivate me at the beginning of the day and also to overcome the side-effects of the medication I took.
It also helps me to keep my lower back in shape because a hyper-mobility off my spine causes me severe back-problems when I meet stress.
The Kundalini-fever infected my life in such a positive way that I am gladly spreading the virus under my friends. The excellent DVD-work-outs are so clear and easy to follow, that it's a very nice way to do yoga on your own when you wake up in the morning. ... Read more

Very good, if a little distracting
Ms. Garcia is a fine teacher. However, I have to ask why she wears so very little on this DVD. I find that her beautiful body, covered only by bra and shorts, distracts me hugely when I am trying to follow her exercise instructions. She is a very fine looking woman, and if she wants us to listen to what she has to say, then she needs to cover up.

Good for beginners
I am very new to both Pilates and the Stability Ball, and I think this is a great workout for beginners. It's challenging enough that you won't quickly master all the moves or get bored with a too-simple, monotonous routine; but yet it's not so difficult that you're discouraged. It's easy to feel how you're improving - in both strength and flexibility - with every session.

Terrific pilates ball workout
i m new to pilates and the ball. i find this dvd great for me. i m going to lose the had-two-babies weight and gain back my muscle. this video is getting me on my way. garcia, the instructor, is very clear and the video really flows. the exercises start with the easiest position and then quickly follows with the more challenging position. for me the best thing is how fun it is to work with the ball (vs. the mat) and the flow of instruction.

the dvd offers more options than the video--you can turn off the instructors commentary and work with just the music at your own pace(kick it up a notch). also there is a bonus workout.

i m really enjoying the workout and only wish this particular instructor did an intermediate workout.

Relaxing, invigorating workout for beginners
This is a gentle, stretching core workout. I have been using the stability ball for quite some time, but I didn't think this workout pushed my limits. I would suggest it for a beginner, and anyone looking for gentle, stretching and pilates-based moves. The instructor is good, and explains breathing techniques which assist each move. I did break a light sweat doing this, and definitely increased my heart rate, but I think this workout would be best in conjunction with cardio. Most of the focus is on the core, and I would have liked to see some arms/chest/shoulders included.
The music is soothing and matches the pace of the workout. I'd do this workout again after an aerobic session, but on the whole it is not challenging enough. ... Read more

The cover touts it as "the reunion of martial arts, yoga, and meditation," but for those who have practiced those disciplines separately but not in combination, Cameron Shayne's Budokon Beginning Practice offers a fresh, even unique approach to a home exercise regimen. Yoga, martial arts, and meditation don't actually commingle in this approximately 38-minute program (also included is a version that's about 10 minutes shorter); a fairly traditional, 20-minute yoga practice (for creating "power through stillness") is followed by 15 minutes of martial arts ("power through movement") and about three minutes of meditation ("power through emptiness"). The yoga asanas, including forward bends, lunges, twists, standing poses, and several sun salutations, provide a good stretch and warm-up for the martial arts moves; the latter, with their short, vigorous punches and kicks mostly performed from a traditional "fighting stance," offer a contrast to the slower, deeper yoga postures, and the sequence of the two is genuinely invigorating. Shayne, a martial arts master who also knows his yoga, provides excellent instruction throughout, and easier versions of the yoga poses are demonstrated. There's also a "pose guide" option, accessible both separately and during the workout, to explicate all the poses and movements in greater detail. --Sam Graham ... Read more

Great Yoga Package for Beginners-
Crunch has put together two yoga workouts that work well for beginners and beyond. Both are taught by Sarah Ivanhoe, a calming yet energetic (for yoga) instructor. These are non-mystical yoga tapes, which is nice if you haven't done yoga before. No meditation or cosmic anything. She teaches a group class, and some modifications are shown by class members.

The Joy of Yoga is a well planned workout that is a great intro to yoga, or a nice cooldown after a longer cardio or weight workout. It is relaxing and energizing, so you can do it any time of day.

Fat Burning Yoga is tougher, more like a high beginner workout. It is not so tough that one should be wiped afterwards, but one will definitely feel worked out. The pace moves, but not too quickly. I don't know how much Fat-burning this really accomplishes, but it will definitly burn some calories, and work out kinks at the same time.

The DVD interface is well planned, and it is very easy to go through each ot the two programs as written. They are also broken into chapters, so mixing between the two is possible, as it putting together a long yoga workout.

Fat burning? Not really
This DVD comes with two workouts: Joy of Yoga and Fat Burning Yoga.

If you are one of those whose attention was caught by the title of this DVD "Fat Burning Yoga", well, let me tell you you will be disappointed in this one. The Fat Burning workout runs a little over half an hour, which essentially makes it ineffective in burning fat. This is not to say that it's not a good yoga workout, it's just that when you feel like you *just* got started, the routine has ended. If you are looking for a short yoga workout which will make you sweat a little, you will be happy with this one. It's easy but challenging enough for someone in the beginner's level and Sarah is a great instructor. She has a soothing voice and she clearly love what she does.

The other workout routine, the Joy of Yoga, is a good introduction to yoga. However, you may get bored of that one quickly though.

Breaking the tension
I'm pretty active. I run and lift weights. But my flexibility is very poor and I carry a lot of tension these days, as most people do. I used to do yoga years ago. I'm now 35 years old and starting over. This DVD is excellent for someone trying to get their groove back. The stretches are great and there's a lot of focus on the back, breathing and abs. I just started using this workout. I love the first workout (The Joy of Yoga), which is a great ease into it workout. Great for the mornings. After doing the second workout (Fat Burning Yoga), I actually broke a sweat and found some of the poses a little difficult. But I know in time as my flexibility improves, I will be able to follow it better. The instructor, Sara Ivanhoe, has a great soothing voice and explains the poses in a clear way so you don't have to continually watch the TV monitor. Easy to follow and very rewarding. It's something I can routinely do, which is key to any exercise workout. Definitely a recommend for beginners or people revisiting yoga after a long hiatus.

Good
This is good for stretching, balancing, and gaining a little strength. The Joy of Yoga is relaxing, and the Fat Burning Yoga is more for stability and flexibility. Pretty easy, but ok once a week.

this workout is to yoga what cliffnotes are to literature
This workout uses yoga vocabulary, but it's really just gymnastics. That said, it's not really interesting gymnastics. The instructors talk too much, by the fourth time you're bored as anything and want to just get on with the workout instead of listening to them. For people interested in more serious yoga AND a really good workout, check out the Flow Series. ... Read more

Well Done!
This 2-DVD set features many pieces of Pilates studio equipment, and a multitude of exercises from Joseph Pilates' original New York City School. Since I am an instructor, I've sampled several DVDs for reference material. This video is by far the best. There's a wonderful a sense of pleasure when you see something very well done. There is so much wonderful material included, this video reduces your purchase effort to one-stop shopping.

What I like about Classical Pilates is that their DVDs depict the Pilates method as it ultimately should be practiced. Pilates is both a fascinating science of body mechanics, and an artful expression of flowing movement. As I watched this video, I definitely thought Pilates could be an event in the Olympics someday.

I highly recommend this video to instructors and students who are interested in the Pilates method. This 2-DVD set is also great to see for people who have no experience and who plan to study Pilates. The Pilates method can be more understandable and fascinating when you see exercises performed with intense expertise, excellent energy, and a positive mental attitude. You see what you're getting into, and anticipate the excitement of new growth and new knowledge.

I can listen to master instructor Bob Liekens regularly because his verbal cues are so on target, and so meaningfully rich in imagery. His keen observations and instruction seem to be a combination of body knowledge, movement, and descriptive poetry.

Beyond Words
I've been taking Pilates lessons for a while, and my instructor enouraged me to get this video for reference and inpiration, as well as to see just how vast the Pilates method can be.

Pilates has helped me in so many ways, it would take 10 pages to write it all down. But this 2-DVD set, in particular, totally inspired me to take my Pilates workouts to much higher levels. I also understand the principles of Pilates better. At a very reasonable price, the 4-hour video is a fantastic investment for anyone who is a student or teacher, no matter how much training you've had.

As far as I know, this Classical Pilates video is the only one that shows exercises on Pilates equipment. This video is very enjoyable to watch because the movements are so strong and graceful.

A Collection Unsurpassed
Although the Classical Pilates Technique DVDs were not shot in an exotic location or on a luxurious set, these are the finest Pilates DVDs on the market. They exhibit the high standards of instruction required of all who were trained in the tradition of Romana Kryzanowska.

I have read in other reviews that the instruction does not focus enough on the Breath and must offer my opinion. Joseph Pilates himself said: "Above all, learn to breathe properly." By that, Mr. Pilates meant to take full inhalations and complete exhalations. He believed in a deep lateral breath. My beginning students are always concerned with when to inhale and exhale and I tell them to be more concerned with how, not when, to breathe. The body will find its own natural pattern to assist in the movement.

In Ms. Ungaro's directions, I have found a new path to familiar routines and with my own students, I now use many of the powerful images that Mr. Liekens delivers throughout his voiceovers. Two of the DVDs in the collection include discussions, from which much additional information about the Pilates method can be learned. All in all, this collection of Pilates instruction remains unsurpassed.

Spectacular
As an instructor, I highly recommend this Classical Pilates DVD for beginning through advanced clients. Even if you do not own the equipment, but take lessons regularly, this is a complete collection of exercises which you will learn from your instructors. Understanding the nuances involved in performing the exercises correctly on the equipment can take years to comprehend. Classical Pilates' DVDs illustrate these points clearly and succinctly. Congratulations to Classical Pilates for a spectacular presentation of the original Pilates method of body conditioning.

A Tribute to the Master
This 2-DVD set is a tribute to Joseph Pilates' amazing creation. The exercises are well done and the instruction is insightful. I found The Studio Equipment Series after I learned that Pilates actually had equipment. Before that time, I only thought Pilates exercises were on the mat. So this DVD set opened up a whole new world for me.

Because of the excellence and dedication of this Pilates documentary, every teacher should own a copy, and every educational facility should use it for training education. There's so much of the Pilates method demonstrated that it's like an attractive film dictionary. ... Read more

Brilliant but not if international buyer
I have many tae bo dvds and as they are scarce in the UK I buy the US through various sites. I was disappointed to find that this set did not come with the bands, as noted by other reviewers. I have managed to purchase them through collagevideo.com. Otherwise, this program is both innovative and everything you can come to expect from tae bo and then some. Definitely not for a beginner.

Challenging for Advanced!
First, allow me to answer the "Billy Bands" question so many have in below comments. If you cannot buy "Billy Bands" then go to your local sporting goods store and purchase any resistance bands. They are the same thing. Or you can use wrist and ankle weights if you cannot find resistance bands.

Now, I must say that this is a wonderful highly effective work-out. I have taken Cardio Kickboxing (Tae-Bo) for six years, and taught it for the last three years. I am definately in the advanced category. I've done some of Billy's work-outs at home once-in-a-while. Most were interesting, some too easy for me, some a good work-out. The Fat Blasting 2-Pack which includes Total Body Fat Blaster and the Fat Blasting Cardio DVD's are the best that Billy has put out. The bands are fun and I sometimes alternate with free weights to achieve different results. My husband enjoys doing them with me and we both think these are very challenging cardio work-outs. Keep in mind that these realy are pure Cardio with very little, if any, ab work. However, if you have done any Tae-Bo before or have taken a Cardio Kickboxing class in a studio, then your proper form will work your abs enough during the work-out.

I would not recommend this work-out for beginners. I also urge anyone that is interested in Tae-Bo or has only done it at home to take a couple of Cardio Kickbox classes at a local Martial Arts Studio (not a health club). You will be surprised how hard it is to get the form correct without live instruction... and improper form leads to injury or slow results.

If you really want to hurt
This is the workout for you.The first time I did it, I had not ordered the resistance bands.It did not seem to do much without the bands.I had been doing the Advanced Tae-Bo before this.Well, I finally got the bands (it takes about 3-4 weeks to get them), and it is extremely challenging.I have not been able to get through the whole thing yet.I am slowly working my way up so I am not so sore that I cannot walk the next day.If you want to burn fat, tone, and gain muscle I highly reccomend this DVD.Be prepared to sweat and hurt!

Beware if you live outside the US or Canada
A word of warning - if you live outside the US or Canada you will find it extremely difficult to find the resistance bands used on this DVD.Don't bother trying to buy them from the offical Tae Bo website - they won't ship to you if you live overseas. Although the workout is still good without the bands, it is very frustrating to see how much better it could be and not be able to join in. I think it is poor planning to make the DVD available to anyone in the world but not the products that accompany it.

Great workout
Hi, I bought this DVD from your site a wee while ago. It is a GREAT workout, I really recommend it. What I want to know is, how can I buy Billy Bands from outside the US/Canada? I'm in New Zealand, and would really like to be able to add this resistance option to my workout... any comments/suggestions? ... Read more

Not for True Beginners
My goal as a 39-yr old, fairly athletic man was to learn yoga basics before I embarassed myself in a class at the Y. I wanted to learn some breathing exercises, which were never mentioned here. I wanted to learn positions too, and at one point Rodney said he would show introductory versions of his more difficult ones (imagine some tripod thing, but angrier), but that never came. He told me to move my "sip" bone. I'm guessing occipital, but how about a little help here? Beginner, hello.

For intermediates this is probably a great workout-Rodney knows what he's doing. As a beginner, it wasn't for me.
