5.0 out of 5 stars NOT TO BE USED WITHOUT A QUALIFIED TEACHER, October 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ashtanga Yoga, 2nd & 3rd Series [VHS] (VHS Tape)

David Swenson is one of the world's premier ashtanga teachers. This video is an invaluable resource for learning and practicing the 2nd and 3rd Series of ashtanga yoga. David's explanations and modifications will assist all students who are proficient in 1st Series and are ready to move on. It is not meant to be used on its own. Please do not begin using this video unless you have access to a qualified teacher who can provide you with hands-on adjustments and feedback. As always, ashtanga yoga, at any level, is best learned from a human, not a video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging workout, August 23, 2000

By 

Josef Gross (Bunnlevel, NC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ashtanga Yoga, 2nd & 3rd Series [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This yoga video is for the advanced yet David gives you enough instructions to go into modified positions. Just attempting to do this workout for a occassional change has really enhanced my overall practise. I have found the postures demostrated in this video really open up body to a greater degree. Just going through it doing your best making an attempt at some of the postures as given me greater flexibility. I strongly recommend this video for the decidated practisioners.
