Great way to align your chakras!

I just completed this practice this morning.  This is my first dvd featuring Gurutej and I must say,  it is a lovely practice.  Gurutej instructs live, in an outdoor setting with 3 students.  She begins with a detailed description of the chakras and how the body and mind is effected when one is out of alignment.  The dvd is chaptered so that you could work with a particular chakra,  however the exercises flow so well together that I see myself  always committing to the entire hour.  Having done Kundalini chakra practices taught by Raviana and Maya Fiennes,  I will say that this practice is a bit less polished.  There is no fancy studio or constant soundtrack.  That being said,  I rather liked the bare-bones feeling of this dvd and felt that the kriyas really made an impact on me.  Some of the exercises were challenging,  but most were able to be modified. I will definitely purchase more of her dvds.  A mat or soft blanket is all that you need.  Sat nam.

I've been using this mat for the past 3 to four months and I could say, this mat is an excellent choice for a serious yoga practitioner, especially the one practicing hot yoga.
This mat is thin and provides excellent surface for balancing poses because softer thicker mats will cause you to lose balance.
It really activates when you start sweating and you will not slide on poses like crescent lunge, warrior one and two, triangle, extended side angle or wide legged forward bend.
I received the other design by mistake, the one with the stripes, and that design improved my practice a lot because it provides excellent cues on where to place feet and hands in poses such as downward dog or the warrior one or two.
I practice hot yoga almost every day and I love this mat. It's very cool, it stands out and I get a lot of compliments about it.
If in the beginning of your practice you slip a little, you just need to pour some water on it and rub it on the spots where you place your hands and feet and that immediately activates the non slip properties of the mat.
Highly recommended. Namaste.

I am very impressed with the Chakra set that recieved in the mail. You get a card that describes each crystal and what they are used for.  The crystals are powerful.  Most of the crystals are the the size of a quarter but some are as big as a nickle and some the size of a dime.  But even though they are smaller they still have lots of energy to them.  So I'm not really disappointed.  I also got a clear quartz point as free gift that came in a small black velvet bag as well as two small velvet bags to store the crystals in.  The crystals come three to a bag as described. One bag for each Chakra.  So there are 21 tumbled crystals in all.  The crystal names are:

 Crown Chakra
 1. Clear Quartz,
2. Amethyst
3. White Jasper

Third Eye Chakra
4. Blue Tiger Eye
5. Howlite
6. Unakite

Throat Chakra
7. Chalcedony
8. Blue Lace Agate
9. Soldalite

Heart Chakra
10. Green Adventurine
11. Amazonite
12. Rose Quartz

Solar Plexus Chakra
13. Citrine
14. Brown Tiger Eye
15. Yellow Jasper

Sacral Charka
16. Carnelian
17. Leopardskin Jasper
18. Snowflake Obsidian

Root Chakra
19. Black Onyx
20. Hematite
21. Red Jasper

This is a great tool for anyone new to yoga or for those who want to change up their practice.  It provides great details on meditation, chakras, and a wide variety of poses.  Thankfully I bought one for myself when I bought it as a gift for a friend.

Chakras for Beginners is an inspirational guide to help you balance your energies for optimal health and life wellness. Associating each chakra with a color helps me identify.

The author does a really great job explaining and detailing each chakra, so you can tune better into yours and level your energy.

It's all about finding your balance. Great book and concept to get you started! BRAVO!

Smell was prominent during first and second use (because I took it to class as soon as I received it), but by your third session this will have significantly diminished.
I purchased the dark blue/green mat and adore the Sanskrit mantra that halves the mat; it is an excellent way to keep my mind from straying during down-dog and as a helpful reference to center myself on the mat and ensure alignment in lunges and warrior poses. This is the first "thick" yoga mat I've bought (my other mat is ~1/8") so I was concerned about balance. I do recommend stepping off the mat for balancing poses while you're still getting used to the mechanics of a thicker mat, but now I don't have a problem.
Feels like it'll stand up to time and is more forgiving on my knees!

This is a perfect Reiki guide. It introduces you to the principles or Reiki and helps you understand how Reiki or 'the power of unconditional love' can transform your life. The concept of life force energy and Reiki hand positions has been explained really well. The author does a great job explaining difficult things in an extremely simple manner. I loved the chapters on chakra balancing and aura cleansing. Definitely worth reading and implementing!

John goes over exactly what it takes to get back in touch with your energy system. I believe it's super important to understand all aspects of my being, including the chakras. In this book contains just enough info for me to digest the basics of my chakras. Not too much and not too little.

I really enjoy that he gives techniques to use to feel the chakras and begin noticing where imbalances might be. Anyone who is looking for some great information on healing within should check this out. Hell, it's only a buck and the information within is priceless. Not understanding your energy system is to great detriment to your body, mind, and soul.

I hope everyone enjoys this book! Check it out.

Cheers!

I know this is meant to be music for clearing your chakras, but it's fantastic for relaxation too.  I find it to be very soothing and I don't tire of it, like I do with some other relaxation CD's.  There is enough variation to keep me interested, it's definitely one of the best relaxation CD's I've bought.

I love this yoga wheel!! I have always had fears about bending backwards and this nifty prop really helps me feel more confident. I teach yoga and have been teaching for about twelve years so I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to enhance my practice. I love how sturdy the wheel is and also the fact that there is yoga mat material around the wheel which makes it non-slip on my hard floors. Even my kids like fooling around with it. My 8 year old can utilize this for backbends as well so it can accommodate a wide range of people. It's very comfortable on my back when I'm bending over it and allows me to relax into my poses more effectively than if I attempt them without it. I think this would be a great product for anyone who is a fan of back bends or even beginners who are hesitant to try. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest review of how I liked it. I love it! Try it out!!

I am new to Reiki and the Chakras but this book helped me get a better, clearer understanding of Chakras and how they affect to workings of the body, mind, and soul.  I feel this book is a must have for all beginners.

We got this for our girls and they love it! The colors are mesmerizing. And the words written are so thoughtful and purposeful. Great introduction to chakras for kids and even for adults! Haha! My 4 year old even keeps going around talking about her third eye ;) We are ordering more for her friends! Thanks Rachael for your amazing creation!

I love these because I'm usually combining them with some kind of cross-training (running, elliptical) during my workouts, and it's a great way to get in yoga in a short amount of time (they are about 22-25 minutes each).  They are very relaxing and a great way to stretch out after a workout.  Yee has a calm, soothing voice and the music isn't too irritating.  Stick with it and you will be surprised at how strong you can become, particularly in the arms!  I will mention that the second and third programs do have some positions that are not easy...some involve balancing yourself on just your hands, which I still have not worked up to, and you never want to push yourself into a pose, just work up to it.  But overall, great yoga DVD.

I wanted a DVD or audio version of bikram...which is impossible to find.  This however, has almost all 26 postures, and includes some sun salutations as well.  Each pose is only performed once and not twice in a row, so that is the biggest difference.  However, I am using this workout in addition to my gym classes such as chisel and dance, so this is great for flexibility and people who love bikram and the consistency of the poses.  You can heat up a small room with an electric heater to help achieve the bikram affects.  I'm happy with this DVD.

Great book.  I've done chakra but did not fully understand it.  This book explained each chakra and some more advanced techniques.  Great for beginners and those that need a little more!

Beautiful book for helping woman to reclaim their divine feminine nature.  The techniques Kent recommends are very honoring and healing for the female body.  I recommend this book to all my clients now who have any type of lower chakra imbalance, including infertility issues, sexual blocks or wounds, pelvic distortions, menopause, gynecological challenges, etc.
