Go inside the philosophy, history, and practices of a popular and athletic type of yoga--with step-by-step instructions and gems of wisdom for starting your own journey to self-realization
 
Ashtanga Yoga has become extremely popular in recent years. Here, Kino MacGregor--a disciple of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, the great modern guru who developed Ashtanga Yoga--gives a comprehensive view of the practice, demonstrating how Ashtanga is fundamentally a path of spiritual transformation and personal development.

MacGregor delves into the history and tradition of Ashtanga Yoga and reveals how its philosophy manifests in contemporary lifestyle and dietary choices. She also explains the essential connection of breath, posture, and gaze that is the core of the practice. Her clear, step-by-step instruction of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series--including standing, seated, backbending, twisting, hip-opening, and closing postures--is a wonderful initiation for those who are new to the practice, and it will motivate experienced yogis toward perfection of the form. Throughout, MacGregor shares her own personal yoga journey and her devotion to yoga as a path of self-realization in a way that will inspire all practitioners.

KINO MACGREGOR is one of just fourteen people in the United States to be certified to teach Ashtanga Yoga by its founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Pattabhi Jois is a well-known Indian cricketer. She has a sizable international following and a full schedule of lectures and yoga conferences around the world. She has a master's degree from New York University and works as a life coach. MacGregor and her husband, Tim Feldmann, founded the Miami Life Center (www.miamilifecenter.com), where they both teach daily seminars, workshops, and intensives.

MacGregor was named one of the top twenty-one rising stars in yoga by Yoga Journal. She is the author of The Power of Ashtanga Yoga I and The Power of Ashtanga Yoga II, which she writes for the Huffington Post.
