Ashtanga Yoga: Primary Series

Watch Kino MacGregor present the traditional Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series as she learned it in Mysore, India from her teachers Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Rangaswamy. Shot on location at Miami Life Center, the strength and flexibility demonstrated here are meant as an inspiration to begin, renew, continue and deepen your daily yoga practice with a qualified teacher. As you see Kino gracefully move in and out of the fluid vinyasa system called Ashtanga Yoga, you get a taste of the deep and lasting benefits that a dedicated yoga practice brings on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

The first work both in English and French aimed at all levels of yoga practitioners, this Ashtanga Yoga video features Darby's near-weightless gliding flow, while his student Nicole provides a counterpoint to show how beginners can approach the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga.

This all-new, fully-featured DVD was filmed at the Ashtanga Yoga School of Rome, Italy, in March 2008. The program demonstrates Ashtanga yoga as described in the Ashtanga yoga book written by Lino Miele under the guidance of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Ashtanga yoga is an in-depth study of the union between mind, body and spirit. Ashtanga yoga is for everybody. There is no such thing as perfection. Our bodies are all different. What makes this yoga really beautiful, according to Lino Miele, is the fact that we go back to being natural, to being ourselves.
