Pattabhi Jois, learning the 1st, 2nd and 3rd series of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa system.

This is a great class for anyone beginning an ashtanga practice. It is only about an hour long and runs through many poses of the primary series. You should probably try one or two ashtanga classes before attempting this practice due to ashtanga's quick pace. It would be helpful to have 2 blocks for jump backs and jump throughs as well. Most advanced poses are probably wheel and full and half lotus. (Posted on 9/20/2016)Quality - Great teacher Review by Y L

Mike Gannon is a great teacher. His (& his guru's) approach to Ashtanga yoga is a mind opener for me. The routine is very good for an advanced beginner like myself to learn the meanings of each pose, and make them right. hope Mike will pose more videos on how to practice for the more advanced poses in his demo.

Love this class and love the instructor!! He is great. So happy to have found this since moving to the suburbs and leaving behind my beloved yoga studio in the city. This is the real deal. (Posted on 9/20/2016)Quality - No Title Review by Mary C

Great class, great instructor. Moves at a fair pace, so you should have some basic knowledge of the poses before trying this class. While the intro about proper breathing technique at the beginning is very helpful, I don't think you need to listen to it every time you practice. So if you need to keep your practice under an hour, the class begins at 6:10. (Posted on 9/20/2016)Quality - No Title Review by Abby B

I didn't like this class at all. I am a daily practicioner, and I thought the class was unclear and the flow was not for my liking. I stopped in the middle and began at the same place in Kino's class. (Posted on 9/20/2016)Quality - No Title Review by Leslie D

Ashtanga = okay for any level. However, if you are new to ashtanga I might start elsewhere. He doesn't offer modifications for the poses. As someone who has been doing ashtanga for awhile, it was okay. (Posted on 9/20/2016)Quality - No Title Review by R N
