Pattabhi Jois Led Ashtanga Intermediate series 1989 complete series video

I absolutely love this footage. Thank you to  grimmly2007  for finding and sharing this gem.

The "real" laghuvajasana

Kino makes this look so easy. This is also the way my teacher teaches this pose.

Yoga guru, R. Sharath Jois

Lovely soft energy in the shala. I do believe I may have been in the led class :-) So many familiar faces and Sharath doing a wonderful job with his students.

Yoga Leg Behind the Head: Eka Pada Sirsasana with Kino

This is a pose I struggle with ( although I do have hip impingement on one side, which doesn't help). I'm going to try these tips to see if things change :-)

Eka Pada Ibiza style

After a week of "super clubs" in Ibiza my son busts his version of Eka Pada in a "Trapstar" hat and "Nike Huarache" trainers. While the attire is pretty cool, it is not recommended with this yoga pose.   :-) 

Yoga Hip Stretching for Lotus

Nice hip opener here from Kino MacGregor

Bhekasana from Ashtanga Yoga Second Series with Kino MacGregor and Dayle...

I have never heard the tip about taking the calf flesh out before-nor the mention of lifting the thighs-Kino always give useful information in her short clips. It took me a long time to get the hand/foot grip correct and my feet most definitely do not touch the floor ;-)

2nd Series Ashtanga with Santina

I love the opening text that goes with this clip-Santina looks to be really in her yoga practise, and not performing solely for the camera.

Ashtanga Yoga Second Series Backbending: Danurasana with Kino MacGregor ...

Intermediate Ashtanga Series-Pattabhi Jois

As I have just started practising to the end of the intermediate series, I have been on the look out for some video clips. I came across Sri Pattabhi Jois teaching this section. Fascinating to watch and lovely to hear his calm, gentle voice teaching the practice. I hasten to add my version of the intermediate series vaguely resembles these. Yogis... practice, practice, practice!!!
