      Kundalini Yoga with Gurmukh


Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
If you, like most Western practitioners, are familiar primarily with the hatha style of yoga, this tape will be a revelation. Kundalini yoga, as instructed here by the Sikh teacher Gurmukh, is very different from hatha. Where the latter moves slowly and deliberately, holding poses so as to achieve maximum depth, concentration, and release, kundalini is built on series of rapid, repeated movements--leg and arm lifts, lateral, forward, and back bends, back rolls, even kicking and punching actions--and has a much more aerobic feel. Indeed, one sequence of deep-knee bends (in the "Energize" section) resembles calisthenics, while the "Strengthen" section features fast punches and jumps not unlike martial arts training, with Gurmukh, as she does throughout the tape, constantly urging you to go faster. By the time you've completed all four sections of this hour-long tape ("Energize" and "Strengthen" are preceded by "Awaken" and followed by "Relax"), you'll have had a good time and a serious workout. It's good to "sweat and laugh" every day, says Gurmukh, and this tape delivers. One caveat: some of these short, quick moves will tend to tighten your muscles, not stretch them. A few hatha-style stretches may be in order when you're done. --Kelly Welldon

Helped My Spinal Disease and Arthritis 100%!!
I got real results from this video and I feel much better! I have been suffering from Spinal Degenerative Disease with severe Arthr. in my neck, shoulders and it started moving down my arms making it hard to even get out of the bed in the mornings from being so stiff. This video helped me the very first time I used it! I have been using it a month now and haven't had ANY pain in my back, neck, or shoulders at all since the very first time using it. The back rolling and heart openings helped me the most. I feel stronger with much less chest pains as well. This is a wonderful video with inspiring music and colorful- easy to follow poses. My family now shares the fun with me using the video. Thank you Garmukh!

She is Crazy Flexible
This was a challenging workout for me. There are a lot of breathing exercises (which can leave you winded) and a lot of back strengthening. She is very flexible - I wasn't able to do everything that she does. But if you keep at it you notice an improvement. There's also a good bit of cardio & it's very relaxing overall. It is probably OK for beginners in Yoga as long as you are somewhat flexible and in decent shape from other types of workouts.

Slow and Steady
As an owner of the VHS version 3 years ago, I practiced this video for about 4 months before I made a major move to another country. My practice involved just the awaken section of the workout as I was really out of shape. I then moved to Korea where I no longer had the tape to workout with. That brings us up to date when I recently I found the DVD version was available. In the meantime I had gotten myself in much better condition by a slow and steady yoga practice that has served to build up strength endurance and mental clarity. I tried Gurmukhs practice again after a three year hiatus, I was exponentially amazed at the feelings and energy that the workout brought out. As I feel there are no real shortcuts in yoga, there are some practices that fit certain developmental levels better than others. This video was a really challenging one for me as a beginner, but had maximum effectiveness. Now that I am still only just beginning to uncover the hidden treasures of yoga, I find this video to be the one that touches my core more than any other.

magical
The more I do this the more I like it. I've tried hatha, ashtanga and kundalini yoga and I've found kundalini to be the one that resonates with me the best - it's a great work out and way more fun than power yoga. Gurmukh is a weirdo, it's true; the first time she said "imagine you're on a carnival ride, and the best part is: the ride is you" I cringed, but having felt what kundalini does to my body and mind (pure ecstacy)I think she's an angel. I've done some investigating and it's true that she was 58 when she made this video! Crazy. Maybe not for everyone, but I love it!

Good workout, a few reservations
Let me start by saying I don't know anything about Kundalini yoga other than what's in this video, so I can't speak to whether it's authentic, dumbed down, etc. But I think this tape is a pretty good workout for someone like me, i.e., no back or knee problems, 5 months after having her third kid wants to lose those last 10 lbs. and get back into some semblance of shape, needs a relatively short workout and generally likes the stress-relieving aspects of yoga. This workout is actually tougher than it looks -- although it can be done by "beginners," many (including me) will initially find it impossible to get completely through without some rest or modification. Even though I like to think I have pretty strong arms (carrying around a big baby), I was shocked at how tired my arms got from simple activities like raising them and lowering them, making punching motions, shaking them, etc. Most of the movements are simple, but after you do them a few minutes, you realize that isn't so easy.As far as Gurmukh is concerned, my reservation is that if you are the type of person who is easily distracted by this sort of thing, Gurmukh's manner may be irritating. She reminds me of that one flaky high school teacher we all had who seemed to be in her own weird world -- half the stuff she says sounds like she is making it up on the spot, and it doesn't make a lot of sense (to me, anyhow). Depending on what mood I'm in, stuff like "A flexible spine is a flexible mind . . . and a flexible mind is a flexible life . . . " or "Stretch your arms out like the biggest wings . . . the biggest wings you ever saw . . . or ever felt . . . " can really get on my nerves day after day. On the other hand, when you're going on your second or third solid minute of fluttering your arms up and down and you think you can't hold them up any longer, her exhortions to use the motion to release of all your stress and anger can give you a second wind. Plus, I think she is in her late 50's or early 60's and she looks amazing, and moves with unbelievable grace, strength and flexibility (which is why this video is deceptively tough -- she makes it look easy). If this is how to get that kind of grace, strength and flexibility at any age, sign me up! But I can see why a lot of people are weirded out by Gurmukh and the stuff she says. If you are sensitive to that sort of thing, you may find this tape irritating.But overall, I think it is a good tape. It's less than an hour, includes warming up and relaxing activities, but the middle portions will really get your heart rate up. I think it is a good choice for people who maybe want something a little more active than "regular" yoga, and like the spiritual aspects of yoga, and don't want to go for a full-on aerobics tape. You will definitely feel it in your arms and legs the day after you do this tape!
