Kundalini Yoga Transformer All-In-One Workout ALL LEVELS Review
This is not a video for a neophyte. The following pertains to those desiring to begin a yoga practice; all others can disregard it. From a certain perspective, this is an excellent video, for it stimulated me enough to write a review. The grain of sand that irritates an oyster to produce a pearl. This video is so bad, it's good. Surreal? Unreal? How does one adequately describe the ineffable? An emaciated chick with artificial hair color in front of an artificial (traveling matte) set, with a disembodied voice giving meditation instructions following drumbeats? The pulse of IT in A Wrinkle In Time?
First of all, you must ask yourself why you are even contemplating this video. Higher consciousness? Fitness? Well-being? Personal development? Why kundalini yoga in particular? What is its history? Who developed it and why? What prerequisites, soul qualities, seriousness or sense of holiness are demanded of the practitioner? Watch the following video, substituting Yoga for Karate:
[...]
Do you think this person can truly help you reach your goals?:
[...]
Dangerous? A glass of water can quench thirst. A pond can drown. Don't let your mind be squished like a grape. What is kundalini syndrome? Can it be precipitated by performing the Born Free sequence whereby one dredges up all of one's negativity and anger?:
[...]
The traditional yogi path requires a guru or master so as to avoid entanglements, hindrances, and negative side-effects--so that you don't wind up in a mental institution because your birth into higher worlds has gone awry--so that one undergoes wholesome development rather than becoming a thing misborn. Is it true that thousands of years of empiric experience dealing with the powerful forces unleashed can be bypassed?:
[...]
Notice that Mr. Singh does actually stipulate that one be conscious--or at least have the desire to be so. While it is true that Kali Yuga ended in 1899, the vernal equinox is still in the sign of the Fish, not the Water Bearer. The book I AM THAT by Nisargadatta would be helpful to the reader to understand the full import of what is implied by this statement that one be conscious.
Whom do you trust with your body, soul, and spirit? For me, it would have to be someone like this:
[...]
If you're an above-average American desiring fitness and well-being, buy the P90x video series. It contains a yoga video and a stretching video (basically a yoga primer), and virtually all of the remaining discs contain some element of yoga--that's the system's secret. If you are looking for a starter video on yoga, buy a Sarah Ivanhoe video. If you really want to learn about yoga, though, pursuing it because you recognize its life-sustaining character, read the book Yoga and Health by Yesudian, available used as a hardback, or newly released paperback from Harmony Publishing, Edinburgh. If you desire to expand your consciousness, then familiarize yourself with Raja Yoga
[...]
or
[...]
Having done that, if you are of the West, read the book Enlivening the Chakra of the Heart, which addresses the Eastern practice of raising kundalini from below upwards in contrast to the Western practice of above downwards, comparing it with what you have learned about self-control; and then--and only then--determine if you are ready for kundalini yoga. You might start by watching the following video (It's FREE!):
[...]
Then buy this video, if you are curious.
Also buy a good mat. In life, you get what you pay for. Manduka black mat pros are excellent, particularly when combined with a mat towel. And remember, you are what you do. Have Patience. Be Calm. Maintain Strength in the Quiet. Let the Force Flow. Best of luck.
Namaste.

I have tried all types of yoga - Marie Gonzalez - Tucson, AZ
None have ever measured up to the incredible results I get from my Kundalini Yoga practice. People ask me constantly for my beauty/ workout secrets. This is it! I do a Kundalini Yoga workout and I am thinner, younger, better rested, and at peace with the world. I love Ana Brett & Ravi Singh! They are the King and Queen of Kundalini Yoga workouts. These latest DVDs are my new secret weapons. Transformer is the perfect title fo rthis because it's literally transforming my life!
Another blissful DVD from Ravi and Ana - Leanne - San Diego, CA
This is my fifth DVD from Ravi and Ana, but it's the first one I've bought from the new series that they've put out from 2009-2010. I almost didn't buy it because I've seen so many negative comments about the new look of these more recent workouts. I actually love the new backdrop; yes, it's fake, but it's so bright and cheerful to look at, and I enjoy looking at it. Ana also looks as radiant as always, and she brings her usual grace to this new workout.
I've had this DVD for a few months now, but wanted to wait to write a review so I could use it more and comment on it. Several other people have broken down the various sequences, so I will just add that the Matrix and Premix options are great, as usual. There are five premixes, ranging from 35 minutes to 60 minutes, so you can fit in some transformative yoga even when you have little time.
The Gobinday chant is one of the highlights of this DVD for me. The first time doing it, I felt a little silly, but now I look forward to it and the lovely feeling it imparts.
I also wanted to add that this DVD doesn't feel quite as strenuous to me as some of their other videos. If you're looking for more of a "workout" video, then perhaps you could try their Fat Free Yoga or Kundalini Yoga for Beginners. This one, however, really does energize me and fill me with positive energy, which was exactly what I was hoping it would do!
Great new Kundalini Yoga Workout - Dwayne Forrest - Bar Harbor, ME
Yoga , to me, is about movement, freeing energy flows in my body, getting centered, and quieting my mind chatter. Any of Ana & Ravis DVDs do this perfectly but Transformer takes it to a whole other level! The exercises are easy to do but challenging and you will work areas of the body you don't usually work to get into "the pain of the past" and purify it. I feel like I had a year of pschycotherapy after I am done - blissed and free!
I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone of any level wanting an energizing and effective practice.
What is continually amazing to me? In spite of making at least 20 Kundalini yoga DVDs, Ravi and Ana manage to come up with new sets!
