Chakra Balancing Yoga

Relaxing, introspective yoga for those who know the poses
This is really beautifully done. The setting, lighting, sweeping & close & far camera angles are beautiful. It also shows part of the members of the musicians that are playing during the session. Sharon is in voice over except for the chanting the mantras for each chakra so that you can also choose music only. Because there is no direction on how to do the poses, this is not for newbies. I wish there was more reminders on how each pose helps the emotions/spirit in detail and/or the organs even if it's a separate voice over option. For newbies a separate voice over giving pose instruction at least a little would also be a great addition to get a wider audience.
For each chakra, you do a few poses & hold them for a nice amount of time, to reflect on the subjects she recommends or your own as well as to chant in almost a partial song style of that 1 word for that chakra.

Beautiful Integration of Hatha Yoga and Sound Therapy
I have taken a yoga-teacher training in Hatha Yoga incorporating the Bij sounds, the mantras chanted on the chakras to stimulate the energy centers and move or release the energy. I struggled through my program. I thought it was bogus, and abraded with the teacher. But I also experienced real effects. I was able to stimulate prana in specific parts of my body, which I later came to understand are connected with nerve plexi and glandular nodes in the body (4th chakra = thymus gland).

Then I came across Sharon's DVD. Wow. I wish she had been my teacher.

The way she chants the bij sounds is so much sweeter than the way I was taught, and the bonus features has her narrating an extremely interesting lecture on Hatha Yoga and the Pradipika. I have bought additional copies and gifted them to special people.

I strongly recommend this DVD as both a resource and as a follow-along practice video. It will, in time, truly unlock emotional traumas and sensations you...

Get a chakra balancing yoga DVD - I am not sure this one...
I highly recommend a person who wants to release negative energy to get a chakra balancing yoga DVD. I have only done this for 2 weeks and I already feel better. I feel that I have released energy that has been lingering inside for a long time.

Regarding getting this particular DVD, I would recommend it with reservations. Here are my observations:
1) The poses are fairly easy and she allows enough time to get into them.
2) I like her voice and music.
3) The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
4) I really like the topics on which she asks me to focus. I now think about the positive messages during the day and I feel like I am reprogramming my thoughts.
5) The pace of the chants are not even - sometimes they are fast at the beginning and slow at the end.
6) During one of the chakra chants she bursts out laughing which I really find annoying because I am trying to focus on my feelings and energy.
7) The final exercise that requires...
