Music: I really enjoyed the music. Not overtly indian (which I would have loved), but soothing and very enjoyable. Kept me in the moment.

Spirituality Factor: My grandparents, etc, are Hindu. I am an agnostic. Lately I have been enjoying Yoga as a means of connecting to my heritage. If the religious emphasis on any workout is heavy on theism, I find it difficult to relate, but when it comes to discussing yogic texts, etc, I feel as if I'm communicating with my ancestors - as Iyengar Brahmins, I imagine many of them were yogis/yoginis.

Thus, the spirituality in this workout resonated beautifully with me. I didn't hear much mind-body talk, which is good, because that is usually a huge turnoff for me. It was just right.

There is quite a few meditation breaks. As a practitioner of transcendental meditation I actually believe taking meditation breaks mid-exercise is healthy and wise.

Workout Itself:

Well. Ravi & Ana real wiped me out during the frog pose to standing in the burn,baby burn section.

I found this workout to be arduous and relaxing all at the same time.

This isn't power-yoga. No sun salutations over and over again (and I like those - butI was yearning for something different).

Lots of hip openings.

This is a treasure which I will keep. I am going to try to do one segment a day every day.

Of course, I have 2 other Ravi/Ana workouts so I guess I'll just say, I'm going to do yoga daily in some form or another and Ravi and Ana will figure greatly in this rotation.

Instructor Comments:
Ana is lovely and graceful. Very strong, and a joy to watch.

Ravi is seen at the start and at the end, and we here his voice throughout. I like both of them.
