Namaste, I am grateful that the universal, all embracing and ancient wisdom of India and Hinduism ( yoga and meditation) is being appreciated and adapted all over the world now...

[@jamesbond1295]

This is my favorite one so far because its clear to see where you are at and the importance on focusing on improving instead of just going through the motions everyday!

[@colinchenery3375]

Thank you - enjoying these sessions & being guided through the finer details of these foundational techniques. Om S’anti 🙏😊

👏 After having practiced with you in person at Pineapple Yoga, I worked with Eagle’s Primary Series Sequence yellow sheet. Now I am revisiting your 30 Day Challenge. Each day I practice all of the previous days asanas and then the video of the day. I so appreciate your tutorials. I receive much benefit from your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual teaching.❤️🙏🌺🧘🏻‍♀️Thank you Kino

[@annerogersdeanda4800]

Thank you Kino ❤️🙏🌺🧘🏻‍♀️ I appreciate your sharing the philosophy behind the physical asanas.

Cheers 2 this Beautiful Day🙌 Thank You Kino, Peace &Love 2 You 🙏🧡🧡🧡🙏

[@littleninestudio]

Thanks Kino. i have been practicing Yoga daily for 4 years. And have been following you working on Ashtanga for half a year. It's the first time that I know the correct Ashtanga breathing. Thank you.

[@KinoYoga]

Glad the video is helpful for you 💗

[@KikiContrerasNyu]

So many options and adaptations, thank you so much! I hurt my left hip some time ago and sometimes it randomly feels bad, it’s good to know how to adapt and access the forward folding to protect the joint ❤️ see you tomorrow!

[@KinoYoga]

Thanks for practicing, hope your hip gets better

[@kalynahm]

Hi! I personally love how you keep the clip of you turning on/off the camera! Organic and something that people never do :)

[@shantividya]

Despite I already practice yoga I learn so much each time with the way you explain and enter the postures! Thank you so much

[@KinoYoga]

So glad to hear that you find the teaching useful

[@RowanPixie]

Kino, this is amazing ❤️ I can’t thank you enough. I’ve been doing Ashtanga for a couple of months now but always felt I was missing something, and this challenge has shown me exactly what it was. Learning the proper technique and doing the asanas gradually alongside you, with the appropriate modifications, has helped me to become aware of what’s happening in my body, which joints and muscles I’m moving and targeting and which ones to protect and how. You’re quite an inspiration to me - we were born on the same day, and I have not looked after myself over the last 20 years like you have. But I am starting to now! I’ll never be where you are, and I’m not comparing myself to you, but to see what you’ve achieved by our ripe old age of 43 gives me hope that I can achieve what’s right for me over the next 20 years ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for practicing

[@fiji4fun179]

Thank you for emphasizing the need to activate the various muscles within the legs when forward bending on the floor. I would often activate when doing standing forward bending for balance, but focus solely on the stretching of the hamstrings while giving the quads and such a break when on the floor. Cheers to learning new bits of helpful information :)

[@KinoYoga]

So glad that you found the teaching useful :)

Day 9 completed ✅thank you so much for thiswonderful practice…peace☮️

[@Sandstripe1]

I appreciate you giving a breakdown for these poses. I have a really hard time with forward folds both sitting and standing. I realize that I have really tight hamstrings and can't reach my toes without bending my knees or rounding my back. I can keep my back straight in child's pose perfectly fine but if my hips are on the ground, its nearly impossible

[@HeatherMoreau]

So good, I always round my back and have wanted to work towards having a more flat back in all my forward folding. Thank you so much Kino!

[@KinoYoga]

💗💗💗

[@hypekillacsplaya]

[@maah.6270]

Thank you kino so much... But I have a question to ask, I am doing yoga for 8 years and for these last two months I have been working on my hip muscles and Hanumanasana and upavistha konasana now day by day I am getting soreness in my lower back muscles and my hamesterings I want to know why? And should I give a rest to my those muscles and change my focus from my hips and hamesterings to other parts of my body for a period of time? Sorry for asking a long question 🙏🙏❤️

[@KinoYoga]

If you’re feeling over worked it’s definitely a good idea to rest.

[@maah.6270]

@@KinoYoga thank you for replying 🙏😊❤️

[@renatojohnsonjr.5403]

[@kakarusato]

How can I ease my lower back pain?

[@KinoYoga]

First, find the source of your pain. Then with that information it will be possible to address the issue.

[@kakarusato]

I work as a carpenter, wearing my belt for tools sometimes I guess that could be the cause

Hi Kino. Which one of your books would you recommend for a beginner in ashtanga to be able to make my own flow?

If you’re interested in starting Ashtanga I recommend my first book, the Power of Ashtanga yoga 🙏
