Movie Reviews of Kundalini Yoga With Gurmukh
Movie Review: Foundational to my health routine
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I encountered this workout was 9 years ago or so; I was in my early twenties and experimenting with different health routines, exercises, herbal medicine and the like, but not really serious about my health. At 22, I was in great health rather effortlessly and took it for granted, but I remember how much of an impact Gurmukh had on me. Her sort of "airy fairy" thing was a little off-putting at first, but her voice, as other reviewers have said, is very soothing and helps you stay with it. Most importantly, the movements had an instant effect; even at that young age in which I weighed probably 130 lb wet (5'7" tall), the exercise was tough and the mental and physical clarity I felt was almost instantanous. I did the workout a few times and the VHS got lost in the shuffle somewhere.
Fast forward to the present day; I haven't taken very good care of my body at all. After fifteen years of smoking, several years of college and single motherhood, and all the exorbant amounts of coffee and junk food for fast energy, and all the late nights of studying and stress...let's just say I'm in bad shape. I gained fifty pounds in four years of college, was constantly fatigued and depressed, and just generally didn't feel good...ever. The first exericse routine I thought of was Gurmuhk and her Kundalini Yoga; after so many years, I still remembered how vigorous the practice was and how good I felt after doing it. I sought it out on Amazon last year, doing the routine here and there when I could squeeze it in between classes, work, children, and late-night study marathons, but it's taken some time to make real changes.
Since my graduation a few weeks ago, I have gotten very serious about my health and have created a routine for myself: I cut out all the bad food and am on a fairly strict diet regimen, cut the cigarettes, added vitamins and supplements, and I do this video 5-7 days a week. I also do Pilates 2-3 days a week, with a wierdo instructor that can't seem to keep his hands off of the model demonstrating pelvic thrusts. (Can't remember the guy's name right now) The guy creeps me out but I do the video because it works. I also do Jillian Michael's 30-day shred 3-5 days a week. I find her highly abrasive, most of her commentary annoying, and I generally don't like her, but I do her video because it works.
In contrast, once you get past her rather radical appearance and approach (at least for many Americans) Gurmukh is a life saver. I have gotten to the point where my day doesn't feel complete unless I do this round of yoga. She is calm, very positive and encouraging, and the movements are to me unique and challenging without being overwhelming.
At first, it is enormously difficult to do the video beginning to end. I found myself gasping for breath, every muscle in my body burning, and my heart thudding in my chest; sometimes I'd curse her with her calm manner and voice while I was working so hard; the models in the video are annoyingly calm and never seem to even exhale from their mouths, which I find maddening.
This yoga routine is the foundation of my whole regimen; the breathing exercises and focusing have helped me sharpen my resolve and my focus, on my health but also on my family and career life; I am calmer, less anxious, slower to anger, and have 1000% more mental clarity. I'm sure it was all the espressos and junk food I was consuming also, but I have to give Gurmukh credit; if I had to rely on Jillian Michaels or the creepy Pilates guy alone, I think I might have given up already.
Don't entertain any illusions; this routine is hard; it took me until only a day or so ago to be able to get through the whole video; you won't be able to do the whole thing at first; you will have to stop, catch your breath and sometimes stop before the video is over, but if you keep with it and push yourself little by little, it will pay off. The best thing about it is, even if you can only get through a few minutes at a time in the beginning, it still has a profound effect on your energy levels and sense of well being. Buy this video!!!
