Beth wrote an excellent breakdown. I just wanted to add that of all the Ravianas I have tried (which is most of them) Yoga Beauty Body remains my favorite, and it is the one I would recommend to those people who are new to kundalini and/or Ravi and Ana. Although Ravi and Ana have stated this one is good for men too (and I'm sure it is!), Yoga Beauty Body has a definite female vibe that allows me to get in touch with my inner goddess. :-D There is chaptering but this particular routine is not easily shortened, as most of the other Ravianas can be. That's okay with me, though, as it is one I prefer to do in its entirety. Whenever I finish it, my body is telling me this is just what it needed! Yoga Beauty Body is both energizing and relaxing, and sneaks in some serious toning (a bit like Classical Stretch in that regard).

Instructor Comments:
Ravi Singh is only heard in voiceover on his DVDs, but his personality really shine through. Beware, as he does love alliteration and word play ("Love your liver and you'll be a longer liver" is a classic example). But he also has the knack of encouraging you to go "just a little bit longer" right when you're thinking of bailing out on a particular move. Ana Brett demonstrates the exercises solo, and is so serene and graceful to watch. She also provides voiceover commentary, which makes anice counterpoint to Ravi.
