Movie Reviews of AM/PM YOGA - For Beginners & Beyond - ***NEW, NOW WITH THE MATRIX*** --Ana Brett & Ravi Singh
Movie Review: Don't bypass this early gem
Summary: 5 Stars
This remains my favorite raviana, so I thought I'd give a more detailed set list, as reviewers have done for their later DVDs, in case you're sitting on the fence about this one. I have the pre-Matrix version, but I trust the only thing added besides the Matrix is Ana's voiceover and alignment tips. If you're not into meditation, chanting and breathwork, you probably won't appreciate this set as much (especially PM); all included, each set runs about 45 minutes.
The AM set begins with a morning prosperity breath meditation: Inhale, hold the breath and pump your stomach to "har" up to 40 times (Ravi says if you can't make 40, "that's okay"); do this for several minutes. The AM set is similar to the warmups on Quick Fixes, but longer and more intense: sufi grinds; spinal flex holding legs, then knees; neck rolls; leg stretches (20 degrees back then forward); and about a minute of frogs. Then begin the set with continuous breath of fire: forward bend; bridge pose; stretch pose; leg lifts (up 90 degrees, spread wide, back, down); tuck pose (knees into chest, head up); arm criss-cross in easy pose; V for victory pose ends the BOF sequence; then a brief corpse. Then the Morning Call chant (Ek Ong Kar) for about 10 minutes; for me, all that BOF and navel work seems to intensify the vibrations of the mantra, which is nice.
The PM set also begins with a breath meditation: inhale 8 nose, exhale 8 mouth, silently chanting sa ta na ma. The exercise set is brief: alternate arm/leg lifts; rock n' roll; spinal flex with shoulder shrugs; and the propeller. The Heart Center Mantra is next (probably my second favorite "sung" mantra after the mantra meditation that ends Dance the Chakras), ad guray namay, etc. This is followed by stomach pumps with the breath held in and out. Hands clasped in front of you, you then pump your arms up overhead and down to chest level rapidly while breathing through puckered lips. Then arms overhead, do BOF through puckered lips, followed by a brief meditation. The relaxation is to a gong sound, and Ravi invites you to imagine yourself floating 3 feet above your body. The ending meditation is Shabd Kriya, also for about 10 minutes, which Ravi says is good for sleep, relaxation or jet lag; inhale 4 counts, hold 16, and exhale 2 to sa ta na ma whahay guru.
The music is perfect -- it ramps up during BOF and arm-pumping sequences, and is quietly supportive and unobtrusive for the rest. The breathwork, chants and meditations are wonderful; even the relaxation is unique and sublime. I find it invigorating, relaxing and spiritual; then again, I'd rather spend time in prison than a yoga class, so take it for what it's worth.
