Yoga Zone ~ Beginners ~ Meditation ~ 2 complete sessions

The content of each meditation is as follows:

First Meditation
*Alternate nostril breathing
*Breath-work involving movement from the root chakra to third eye through the use of a
mantra
*3rd eye balancing

The Second Meditation
Chakra Balancing

Both meditations are highly effective. I recommend this DVD to anyone looking for a way to meld his or her yogic practice with meditation.


Not Your Best Choice   February 21, 2003

I recently purchased this dvd along with a meditation dvd from Gaiam with Maritza as the instructor. This video is very inferior to the Gaiam offering. The format of this is kind of odd. The narrator appears on the dvd along with a beauty who does all the posing (but has nothing to say, apparently). The narrator moves her through a series of yoga stretches and eventually into some seated meditation. Although there are two segments, the content is pretty much the same from one to the other. Just do this, and then do this. But there is very little content devoted to explaining the meditation that is supposed to be happening. Both segments are shot indoors; the dvd menu is pretty much "start" and that's it. I watched it twice before deciding to put it back in the box and use the Maritza dvd.


Relax. Sit Back. Explore Your World   August 24, 2002

I love this tape. Sometimes I have to motivate myself to pop it into the VCR and actually do it, but Alan Fingers calming voice is enough to get me started. He starts with postures that are supposed to align you and get all of your being into focus before you meditate. He introduces some very powerful tools to catch those stray thoughts and turn them into calming ones. He speaks softly, slowly, calmly, as though you had all the time in the world. When at last you do enter the calming phase of the meditation itself (and I was able to do this the very first time), it's so free, so far removed from work and kids and noise and hassle, that you don't want to leave. Alan Finger allows you to explore this realm for awhile, and then come back to yourself. I always feel fabulous afterwards, but i think I need to do it every day, because the fabulous feeling only lasts until the next crisis occurs! Put it this way; It cannot hurt, you can gather some very insightful thoughts into yourself, and if nothing else, you have had 30 minutes of quiet. I usually darken the room, light some incense, and enjoy.

The Yoga Zone videos are the best. I have about 10 yoga videos , and I keep using the Yoga Zone the most.
Alan Finger is an excelent teacher. He guides you in this meditations in a slowly and precise way. I usualy used this tape after my yoga practice.

I just got started with meditation and this tape is excellent. It's more than meditating, it's getting prepared for meditation. It moves at a comfortable rate and easy to understand!
