Chakra Yoga for Mental Clarity with Gurutej Kaur (2004)

[Guest guest]

This is another unique Kundalini dvd. It's purpose is

to acheive mental clarity, and this is done through 20

different poses and mudras.

I will say right now that this dvd won't appeal to the

majority of the exercising population. It's not a

huge calorie burner, though I will say you do get a

great upper body workout through some of the mudras.

The instructor, Gurutej Kaur, wears a turban and

exotic clothing, and at first she appeared to me to be

air headed and flippant through her speech, but in all

honesty I felt GREAT after this practice and think

there is something to this. In this dvd, as with the

one I did last night, you concentrate on sut-nam, sut

on the inhale, nam on the exhale. The chants for this

were the same as in the other dvd. The only pose I

really recognized from other yoga practices was the

wheel pose (ourandanasa sp?) which is actually quite

advanced. She also did a reverse plank, but with leg

lifts. However, many of the mudras were wrist shakes

of different sorts to shake out frustrations, and

other mudras were to gather in energy. If you believe

in this kind of thing, and I happen to, you really

will feel more clear in the head.

At the end was a seated meditation with mudras, and

then shivasana.

If you're a spritual type looking for " alternative "

yoga practices than what is tradionally found at

Target, I do suggest Kundalini yoga!
