Yoga Cleanse - Lighten Up & Purify

Ana Brett, Ravi Singh
Year Released: 2003

Categories: Yoga


I've done this one twice, and each time ended up feeling fantastic after it was over. It's fairly intense while you're doing it, though you wouldn't think so from a preview.

Like other Kundalini yoga w/os from Ravi & Ana, this contains lots of meditation, breathwork, spinal rolling, ab/core work, and a few "traditional" yoga poses.

The DVD is chaptered,and broken up into a warm up, and two 20 minute segments - Love Your Liver, and Tear Out the Toxins. The cover says the entire w/o is 80 minutes, but it took me 55 - maybe I've missed something!

Like I said at the start, this is not the yoga you'd expect if coming from Rodney Yee, Eoinn Finn, Bryan Kest, Alan Finger, Karen Voight, Patricia Walden - all my regular yoga people.

It does feel more intense than you'd expect from watching, and something about it really does make you (me) feel fantastic.
About the only traditional yoga asanas I remember are childs, bridge, and corpse pose.

There are Kyrias (sp) to work your liver, thyroid, and open your spine, and lots of meditation & relaxation intermingled with the hard work of breathing, twisting,neck rolls, spinal rolling, cow/cat, standing and sitting quickly... it really doesn't look or sound hard, but when you do it - it is!

Breath of Fire really does get you fired up, and

Instructor Comments:
Ravi appears only briefly, and then does voice over instruction, while Ana demonstrates the workout.
Ana is very lithe, limber, and pleasant.
