The Kundalini Yoga Book

This book is consistent with the high level of quality of all the instructional products that Ravi and Ana have created. In general, their kundalini teaching style is deeply thorough and modernized, so that it presents a yoga method best evolved for modern life while still honoring ancient traditions. They make philosophies that are abstract and unfamiliar seem easily accessible for a typical everyday person.A few reviewers have criticized Ana's clothing choices, and have suggested that they feel there is a sexualized nature in the way she demonstrates. I think this is nonsense. She always (in this book and ALL of their dvds) presents herself tastefully and according to average Western standards of athletic/yoga wear. Also, one must imagine that if one was trying to learn yoga poses from a dvd or book and the instructors body was obscured by loose-fitting clothing, the student would not be able to see the correct technique of form. Ana is a true master of physical technique, and I thank her for bravely sharing her form with the world so that I could learn these marvelous techniques accurately without a live instructor.The book is beautifully illustrated, has an exhaustive chapter about the chakra system and its subtleties, and many templates for self-guided workouts. I am not a yoga instructor, but I can see that it would make class planning a snap if one was trying to create a meaningful kundalini set.If you have inclination to buy this book, you should. Everything in it is helpful. Every point in it that I have brought up to a friend has spurred a marvelous discussion that brightened our hearts and in turn led us to other good ideas. This is the unfolding and connectedness of Kundalini energy. I am very grateful for Ravi and Ana's influence in my life for these past 10 years that I have practiced with their videos. Sat Nam!

I have been a long time fan of Ana Brett and Ravi Singh. They are the reason that I initially fell in love with kundalini yoga, because they took what I found to be a very serious, physically rigorous, and often challenging spiritual practice and sprinkled it with just enough fun and encouragement to entice me to stick with it, and I'm so happy that I did! I really enjoy their variety of yoga dvd's and practice them regularly, but when I heard that they were writing a book I was so excited! I LOVE books and have quite a few about kundalini yoga, but none of them compare to this gorgeous manual. This one is really special. I hope the wisdom it imparts blesses your life as much as it has my own. Thank you Ravi and Ana! Sat Nam.

Having practiced various styles of Yoga over the years, Kundalini Yoga seemed to me to be the most powerful... however, I did not try it because I did not want to wrap my head with a towel, wear a white uniform, nor belong to an exclusive club. Ravi and Ana are the reason we have adopted Kundalini Yoga and made it a way of life now... because they make it fun, inspiring and... accessible to everyone which is what Yogi Bhajan had wished for, "Yoga for the Householders". We love this book and will buy more to lend to those who have not the resources to purchase it.Thank you Ravi and Ana - we are forever grateful.

Kundalini Yoga has saved my life on every level, and this book is the most comprehensive, useful, and beautiful resource I have in my library of books about this ancient transformative practice. It is a MUST HAVE for your daily practice. If you happen to be a Kundalini Yoga teacher like me... you will use this book every day to assist with planning classes. The wisdom presented in this book is real and the creative way it is presented and organized is brilliant. Please keep up with your study and practice of Kundalini Yoga and have this masterpiece by your side as you do. Thank you Ravi Singh and Ana Brett for your dedication and devotion to the teachings.

I've been eyeballing this book for a while, being a big fan of Ana & Ravi's magic. This is a gift to myself for graduation from 200 power yoga teacher training this winter. I love that while I am reading this, I hear their voices in my head. I have most of their DVDs. I can't wait to take their training at some point.The book has great explanations, clear pictures, and is easy to use. I feel like it is an accurate extension of their style from their videos, and that makes me such a happy customer. I'm super excited to finally have this Kundalini Yoga gem!

Absolutely in love with this book!!I have practice Kundalini yoga for a few years now and the way that Anna & Ravi teach is truly the evolution for this technology: they bring it to the 21st century. The book is wonderful, so thorough, accessible and poetic!A must, even if you like me, already have a ton of kundalini books!

The work that went into creating this awesome book is readily recognized. The authors put their total heart Chakras into its essence

This is the best book on Kundalini yoga that I've bought. This book is very accessible and down-to-earth, with clear, detailed instructions for all of the kryias and meditations, along with explanations of their benefits. At the same time, this book is also very spiritual and inspiring, without any "new agey" type of mumbo jumbo. "Life in the Vast Lane" is definitely a reference book that I'll be using for my personal practice. Thank you so much, Ravi and Ana!

This book took 9 years in the making and it is evident just how much love and care went into it. I have followed Ravi and Ana for 8 years now and this book just like their kundalini yoga dvds is absolutely beautiful, giving and poetic.I love it and it is sitting proudly on my coffee table. I dip into it every night and it is a treat for the soul in every way

This is such a beautiful big book, lovely to leave on a coffee table as a conversation starter. Ana and Rave have once again excelled themselves with the contents and information contained in this book and I am slowly working my way through it and absorbing the information and practices therein. Like their dvd's the instructions are clear, informative and uplifting, a real joy to use! There is nothing not to like so definitely 5 stars from me!
