Kino Mac Gregor Provides Insight For Yoga Practice By moonbeam973 on Feb 15, 2010 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I did not put this in the DVD section, because it is not an actual yoga practice session. The DVD has two parts - the first part has a narrative about Kino MacGregor (a yoga instructor and founder of Miami Life Center) and her training, and she gives a beautiful demonstration of advanced Ashtanga postures. (Her handstands are amazing)! In the second part of the DVD, Kino leads a yoga workshop, where she gives some good tips for doing handstands (transferring weight) and transitions (jump-throughs). I used to practice at Native Yoga Center, and I see that Kino MacGregor has led some weekend yoga classes with the owners out at the beach. If I ever get back there, I would love to to take one of those classes; I've seen photos (Native Yoga Center is on Facebook), and it looked like a fun and challenging class. This DVD came with a laminated practice chart of the primary Ashtanga series. There is not an Ashtanga studio close to me, and the chart helps me to practice on my own. If you are a yoga enthusiast, or if you are interested in trying Ashtanga, it will be worth your time to watch this video. I believe the video (by itself, without the practice chart) is $15.00.
