A Great Ashtanga DVD,
By
This review is from: Ashtanga Yoga: Primary Series with Kino MacGregor (DVD)
In this video, Kino MacGregor demonstrates the entire Ashtanga primary series. Her demonstration is a tour de force: for precision and technical virtuosity it's simply breathtaking. This is perhaps the only yoga video I've seen that one can simply sit back and watch for its pure "performance value." As an instructional video, it is also very good. Kino takes the series at a comfortable pace and accompanies it with concise, effective commentary throughout. For advanced practitioners, she offers non-traditional variations that increase the difficulty level, while for advanced beginners she offers many simpler variations. The advanced options appear conveniently in boxes in the corner of the screen as the series progresses, but the beginners' variations unfortunately (and less conveniently) are confined to a separate part of the DVD to which you have to fast forward. As an "advanced beginner" myself, Mark Darby's and Melanie Fawer's videos will probably remain my favorites for now simply because they contain more variations and instruction aimed at less experienced yogis. For more advanced practitioners, this DVD will no doubt shoot to the top of the list, along with John Scott's recent excellent DVD of the primary series.

Great Primary Practice,
By
This review is from: Ashtanga Yoga: Primary Series with Kino MacGregor (DVD)
This is top notch Ashtanga yoga practice. I am working exclusively on the primary series right now and have Freeman and Swenson's DVD's. The pace of this practice is a little quicker and more dynamic that Richard Freeman's. I find Kino to be a wonderful teacher with a soothing and relaxing voice. I disagree with the other reviewer and find the static camera angle to be perfect for this series. Yoga is not about scenery it is about the mind and the quality of the breath. A static angle allows us see the poses as you would in class. The extra material at the end is perfect for beginners. A must own Ashtanga practice.

Ashtanga Yoga for Pro!,
This review is from: Ashtanga Yoga: Primary Series with Kino MacGregor (DVD)
If you are not familiar with ashtanga yoga, do not buy this item.
David Swenson DVD's are more friendly if you are a beginner.
