  • Best yoga podcast

    Thank you Kino for the gift of this podcast. I’m a longtime student of yours and a member of Omstars. I really appreciate that you share your knowledge with people and don’t try to sell us anything. Other podcasts are beginning to be unlistenable because of the ads. And thank you for sticking with the Ashtanga tradition and continuing the lineage. Love you

#234 The Work of Second Series: Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate Series
Q: What signs indicate readiness to start the intermediate series if a student is asking themselves?
If you feel excited, fulfilled, and consistently well-grounded in primary series, it may indicate readiness; having energy beyond your struggle poses and a teacher-approved plan supports a safe transition.
#234 The Work of Second Series: Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate Series
Q: How should a student approach starting the intermediate series after primary series?
One should have a solid year of primary series, build a firm foundation, and then start the intermediate series with guidance from a teacher to ensure a safe, sustainable progression.
#234 The Work of Second Series: Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate Series
Q: What is the main emphasis of the second series of Ashtanga Yoga?
The second series focuses on backbending to raise energy up the spine, followed by deep forward folds with external rotation, and finally a dynamic integration of extension and flexion leading to the seven headstands.
#230 Yoga is Mind Training: How to Steady the Mind Through Practice
Q: What do you do when strong emotions arise during practice and you start crying?
Recognize the emotion, observe the thoughts without believing them, return attention to breath, body, and mind, and either continue with gentleness or take a pause if needed; if intense, seek closing poses or a longer rest, and consider outside help if emotions are overwhelming.
#230 Yoga is Mind Training: How to Steady the Mind Through Practice
Q: What are the bandhas?
Bandhas are both a muscular engagement and an energetic practice; physically they involve controlled activation of pelvic floor and core muscles without locking them completely, while energetically they help contain and direct prana to support deeper aspects of yoga, with variations for different bodies and genders.
