Movie Reviews of Mantra Girl Presents - Advanced Kundalini Yoga for the Spiritual Warrior
Movie Review: The King of Kundalini Kriyas
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want the zenith of detoxifying, aerobic activity matched with a true test of strength, will power, and endurance, this is the DVD for you. First, understand that Mantra Girl is giving you the exact, original Warrior Workout handed down to us from Yogi Bhajan, who obviously received this from his yogi. I originally discovered this sequence in Ravi Singh's book, "Kundalini Yoga For Body, Mind and Beyond," published in 1988. As hard as this challenging sequence is, Erin actually reduces the time of running in place from five to roughly three minutes and reduces the amount of frog and piston poses from 108 reps to roughly 70+ reps. Despite these slight adjustments, this is virtually the truest representation of how this amazing test of strength and will is actually performed. For example, there are no breaks, no intermittant meditations between each exercise. This set is for pure detoxification and designed to target the heart chakra like nothing else. Yes, there are precautions necessary to safely accomplish the highest degree of dynamic tension between the mind and body. You must purchase a sheep skin rug. Do not try running in place or hopping up and down without using your hands unless you have the cushioned support this essential piece of yoga equipment affords you. This is not, I repeat, not a mat workout. This is perhaps why Ravi Singh and Ana Brett replaced the bombastic running with marching to facilitate more widespread, perhaps more do-able, use of this diamond of all kriyas. Whatever the reason, this version is the original version and it is obvious that it is perhaps the only workout I have ever done which borderlines on being scary. It is essential that you are well rested and absolutely calm before undertaking this trial. Just like extremely hard single leg standing poses in ashtanga, this entire kriya requires complete concentration so the supposed limitations of the body can be overcome. People who think this isn't yoga fail to understand that the number one principle of yoga isn't its form, but one's ability to maintain a meditative focal point no matter how hard a physical sequence appears. Having said all this, I will now proceed to review Erin Kamler's actual DVD. The number one aspect of this DVD is that it is made of a continous sequence of action, not assembled in post production. Therefore, one can marvel at how Erin and her friends actuallly move through this body/mind challenge in real space and time. The music used is fantastic, driving me on to push through each exercise no matter how hard it is. The only thing she says that I question or I think has been modified for American audiences is that this is for the "spiritual warrior." I am under the impression this type of workout, like a marine drill, was actually done before Sikh warriors went into battle. Besides that, Erin is a simple, no-nonsense instructor who gives encouragement and adds incredible life to the task at hand. I love the Adi Shakti chant at the end and when I am done, I feel like I have performed on a stage for two hours. This workout produces a sensation of internal invincibility no other workout, not weight training, not even the ashtanga primary series touches. Again, realize I do not do this workout all the time. It is something to build up to and I do think that Ravi Singh's and Ana Brett's Warrior Workout is definately a great maintenence DVD by comparison. However, for those who enjoy a real challenge, who want to plant the flag on Mount Everest, this original version is the king of kundalini kriyas.
