Movie Reviews of The Ashtanga Yoga Collection
Movie Review: An excellent introduction to astanga yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great dvd set for anyone wanting to learn the basic foundation of ashtanga yoga. One can use this dvd set every day for a couple months before taking a formal introductory class. In this way, one will not be as self-conscious learning in a room full of students. The instructor speaks with clarity and the background is uncluttered with extra bodies, sights, and sounds. He does the series in a slow, conscientious, meditative manner. Each aspect of the flow is examined in detail and strung together at a speed that is very manageable for a beginner. Mr. Freeman's form is impeccable.
So far I have only gone through the first two dvds. I am really hoping on the third he will explain how to float in slow motion from standing at the top of his mat to chaturanga at the bottom. He first folds his legs but then extends them fully in mid-air and floats back with grace in a manner that seems to defy gravity. I have tried many times to do this part but have not achieved what I see on the video.
I expect this set to keep me busy learning new nuances for many years.
Summary of The Ashtanga Yoga Collection
The breath and body move as one in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition. This classical path harnesses the power of the postures to reveal the pure awareness, freedom, and depth of all that is yoga. Now with The Ashtanga Yoga Collection, renowned teacher Richard Freeman masterfully guides you through this precise union of breath, alignment, and flowing postures as taught to him by master yogi K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. An indispensable resource for students of all levels, this boxed DVD set includes: ? An Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga-foundational techniques that combine breath, movement, and meditation to help you develop strength, flexibility, and self-observation ? Ashtanga Yoga, The Primary Series-nearly 70 postures to "ignite your inner fire" and awaken your nervous system to its natural, vital state ? Ashtanga Yoga, The Intermediate Series-a dynamic flow of powerful postures that create radiant health and joy, and spark spontaneous moments of meditation.Similar DVD Movies
