You may have years of yoga experience, but if it's limited primarily to the hatha style that's practiced most commonly in the West, musician-instructor Maya Fiennes' Kundalini Yoga to Detox and Destress may prove very surprising--and in very a good way. The London-based Fiennes describes kundalini as both 'the mother of all yoga' and 'among the easiest styles of yoga to learn' (not to mention a good way to 'prepare for the Aquarian Age' that's coming in 2012, for those watching their calendars), a combination of movement, breath, and chanting designed to awaken, energize, and relax. That may all be true, but the contrast to the more familiar hatha style is striking. Where the latter usually concentrates on holding poses, gradually but subtly deepening them over the course of several long breaths, kundalini features almost constant movement; rapid side arm extensions and seated lifts and drops (a bit like jumping up and down on a trampoline from a seated position) are but two examples of the intense but highly enjoyable routines demonstrated here, and although the entire 60-minute program is done seated, on the back, or an all fours--there are no standing poses whatsoever--it's plenty strenuous enough to provide a good workout. Indeed, even pranayama work like the 'breath of fire,' featuring short, sharp, powerful inhalations and exhalations, is brisk and intense. Fiennes, who also supplied the rhythmic, pulsing music, offers explicit instructions and encouragement without being either frivolous or overly serious--a good balance, just like the practice itself. --Sam Graham

Rating:  - This is wonderful for MS!
I have Relapse Remitting MS and I do this DVD nearly every day. I recently had a 3 month relapse consisting of double vision, fatigue and numbness/weakness in my legs. I was nearly unable to walk for weeks and had to go on IV Prednisone which is very taxing on the entire mind body and spirit. Without this DVD I would have lost it! I was able to do at least the first thirty minutes throughout the entire ordeal and found it to be profoundly theraputic and transformative. The music is fantastic and Maya's words of encouragement seemed tailored just for me.
This DVD is exactly what I needed and I am grateful for it. I understand that experienced Yogis may find it "too easy" but I think it is fantastic and has something to offer everyone. I have reccomended it to everyone in my MS support group because it is so theraputic and you can benefit from it even if you are physically disabled.
Rating: - Simple yet powerful Yoga DVD
(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.
Rating: - Excellent Yoga Workout and Body Detox!
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.
Rating: - A beginner
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.
Rating: - Very healing and motivating.
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!
