Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Yoga may build strength and tone muscles, but there's much more to this ancient art than just a trendy way to get fit. In this two-session tape, Alan Finger introduces some of the techniques yogis have used for centuries to quiet the mind and experience extended states of peace. He begins each session with what he calls "premeditative" asanas, physical poses like Dandasana or the potted-palm series that prepare the body for the intensive stillness of meditation. In the first session, he then concentrates on breathing techniques, including alternate nostril breathing and the Kriya breath, as well as the use of a mantra to calm your mind if it's feeling restless. In the second session, he has students visualize geometric shapes representing the body's chakras, or energy centers. Both sessions strike a pleasant balance between guided instruction and quiet sitting, and together they provide the basic tools a beginning student needs to establish his or her own meditation practice. Best of all, Yoga Zone: Meditation urges students to take the tranquility, wisdom, and creativity accessed during meditation and put these qualities to work in their everyday lives. --Mary Park

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Meditation DVD, Jan 26 2004
By 
This review is from: Meditation - 2 sessions - Yoga Zone (VHS Tape)
I have been practicing yoga for the last several months on a daily basis. Yoga Zone's DVDs are absolutely fantastic! This DVD is consistent with the quality that I have come to expect from Yoga Zone. Each session consists of 15-20 minutes of yoga exercises followed by a 15-minute meditation. FYI, this is not a How-to-Meditate DVD. It is simply a very well produced meditation DVD that one can use daily. This DVD also has 6 Chapter stops which allows a great deal of flexibility. For example, if you would like to begin the meditation without the yoga exercises you may do so. The two meditations on this DVD are considerably different:

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relax. Sit Back. Explore Your World, Aug 23 2002
This review is from: Meditation - 2 sessions - Yoga Zone (VHS Tape)
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.
