Had doubts about Kino’s sincerity and other issues over the years, only ever saw her KZbin vids that felt a bit fake and click baitish with those tiny shorts... I’ve been open to being wrong over the last year and learnt more about her, this has solidified how wrong and ignorant I was. ...I was just so wrong, she’s real as fuck. Not that it really matters but, just great to see how astonishingly devoted and sincere she is from this (and amongst other bits of inquiry). Thanks purple valley for putting out these demonstrations. They teach a lot more than postures.

[@amalateesside]

I think people doubt her because she is kind of celebrity in yoga world and has done well for herself. We should really celebrate her success as you do not get that without hard work and dedication, its inspiring really. You cannot be fake when so obviously dedicated to the practice. :)

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Aimee Bell without Kino I would've never started yoga, changed my diet, lost weight, lost mental baggage, gained new perspectives on life, etc.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Matthew griffiths but don't men traditionally wear a tiny sarong?

[@matthewgriffiths9642]

ASMRyouVEGANyet? Hahahahaha! Ye I mean that’s certainly my Mysore attire... I dunno, it was a first impression without any concrete backing. She seems great, my sister did a workshop with this year in Berlin and I had my opinion seriously challenged. ...but in all seriousness, should I be wearing sarongs? ...Won’t my crotch show with my jump backs?

[@TxHoneyBee]

Just admit that you are ignorant. Your opinion really has nothing to do with Kino or yoga at all.

[@Dudlesful]

People don't understand. This is a lifelong pursuit. The years she has, shows. Wonderful to witness. Aloha

[@TheOrthodoxMoor]

I didn't know yoga could be done with that kind of power, strength and control...it was like a conversation with the body more than the mind...very interesting.

[@odessacooper1754]

I love your username.

[@TheOrthodoxMoor]

@@odessacooper1754 Thank You!

[@nipa6409]

They say Ashtanga is all about the mind.. you have to master the mind to be able to practice long term…such a beautiful practice !

[@LinaSemina]

She is the reason why I've started yoga. I teach for more than 6 years already!🙏 Thank you, Kino!♥️

[@nickysantoro314]

So much dedication to make something so incomprehensibly difficult look so effortless. Just amazing to say the least.

[@cathymorris7826]

She has more talent, discipline and truth than most people in my humble opinion. It's almost magical watching her seemingly effortless paractice....when we all know how challenging each intricate detail of the practice actually can be...and for me....still is and always will be. Awesome video. Namaste

[@martinjulich5883]

echo all that; stillness in action

[@stefanyloren]

I terribly love the way she goes from Chaturanga to Upward Dog: like flowing. It is pretty relaxing for me to watch ashtanga videos. The music and the movement calm my mind, relax me.

[@bengraham9427]

she’s the gold standard, and these are among the best instructional and inspirational- thorough, with reverence and without comment, the form and focus are exemplary.

[@oliviavogel951]

This is so wonderful to see! I'm currently learning the Primary Series and this level of mastery and dedication is inspiring

[@sk.2422]

ABsolutely amazing, Kino is such an example of discipline and dedication, i really admire her yoga practice and her faith. Exceptional and beautiful.

[@karenborrero5601]

The inspiration and meditation as the birds sing and blood brings me back home... no longer floating alone. You're Fire Kino and Thank you Purple Valley

[@Catholic_Fiat33]

Omg, I have been watching her videos as a source of pure inspiration but I didn't really pay attention to the video titles, I just watched the practitioner making art...and it literally just hit me that this is the author of two of the books on Ashtanga yoga that I can't put down!! She is not only physically advanced, from what I read she is spiritually advanced as well. When I can sense that wisdom between the lines I really can't stop reading. Next generation Yogini and teacher~

[@FloorStylez]

Nice work. I'm a bboy/dancer and was intrigued by seeing Mysore (self practice) sessions for the first time. I found it interesting how everyone was doing something different. I since plucked up the courage to do a very early Ashtanga led class and have been hooked ever since! The different series are genius. So much focus and detail. Surprising how much of the body even the primary series covers. In my humble experience, no matter what physical background you come from, there will always be multiple asanas that will take time to learn. I love that 🙏👍

[@akashgrover7827]

Amazing Practice Kino .. Your dedication inspires me this video not only show your asanas but also your tapas towards your faith in Yoga. I wish I can also reach here one day. ☺️

[@sophier5508]

This is an incredibly beautiful performance, I cannot get enough of it, and as an Ashtanga practitioner myself, I appreciate it all the more as it is a wonderful inspiration to my practice !

[@EOVB_iz_ME]

I felt MY back adjust like 5 times watching that wheel routine!

[@QUVO1900]

I have so much love for Kino. I've practiced along through her channel on yt and, God, I've learned so much about myself through her practice and she made that possible. There is so much to be grateful for. What a beautiful, giving person.

[@aldenisrodrigues8713]

I’m so grateful for you sharing this with us! Namaste 🙏🏼

[@puchululina]

Kino is a combination of being focused and being perfect. Awesome practice, thanks!

[@francoandreidearaujo8020]

Kino is awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us Purple Valley Yoga. You're the best! Hugs from Brazil

[@RahulDev1]

I chanced upon this video. Kino and the purity, clarity, the grace and beautiful flow of her movements is stunning. Thankful I could watch this.

[@amarjitsingh5153]

This 100% just yoga . Real yoga. Thank you goddess

[@RebuYogi]

Ahhh I want to watch this so bad but I'm on way to class now.. primary series. I will come back and fulljoy watching and studying though. Give thanks.

[@mahesh20092011]

Apart from Kino practice and demonstration I like the native American flute music.. I feel nothing else can reach and embrace my soul than Native American flute and drums...

[@vibrationsinbreath9229]

Murali Varma hello I was wondering if you could suggest or tell me the name f the audio. Very peaceful. 🙏

Gentle, powerful, immense focus, meditative, deep breathing, trusting the body. I honor what I just watched. Mahalo Nui Loa for this beautiful session. 🤙🌺

[@EmbraceYourLifeMitYvonne]

There are a lot of attributes to describe that kind of practice, but "gentle" definitely wouldn't be a one that I chose.

[@AnimalJusticeEmergency]

She is just amazing. And particularly thrilling that she's become vegan .

[@ksekuchen3302]

Wow! The human body is such a beautiful miracle/creation. ♥

[@adrianapoblano174]

beautiful, the most beautiful video I have seen so far, amazing what love and dedication can do!

[@lisarowe7194]

I love you Kino😀 beautiful and amazing work! It’s great to see the possibilities of where one can work towards. Just the primary series is quite an accomplishment. The 4th is so unreal.

[@Alex-jb4ke]

that is the MOST amazing yoga traimimg I have ever seen. Kino is just great!!

[@seaweedhero1707]

The World Is A Better Place With Kino In It.

[@cristiangamboa2037]

When you see most of her videos she always looks like she is doing every pose effortlessly, here you can see she is pushing hard. So nice too see the result of years of practice and dedication

[@dontask4990]

Demonstrating yoga poses is not the same as practicing yoga/movement meditation. Movement meditation focuses on the movements of the body and your mind rather than the goal of the movement/poses.

[@shoaibhamid9333]

Simply incredible,Kino is the source of inspiration for yogis around the globe

[@user-kp1dq9yw5r]

I think her body tells a lot more than anything! Thanks for inspiring me!

[@Mmmmkaaay]

You're only as young as your spine. Kino will be 90 doing this stuff. Mindblowing.

[@ndrjskrbnk]

yet another form of Parvati. simply divine.

[@selinaali9367]

This was so engrossing to watch. Admire your poise and control. I’m currently practising Bikram to build my flexibility and strength. I’m aiming to do ashtanga and move gracefully as you kino. Thanks purple valley

[@katjarieck9966]

Wow, thank you for posting this. Seeing Kino work through her practice is so inspiring. Not because the asanas in fourth series are so challenging, but because you can see her focus and dedication, her submission to her practice. That so expresses what Ashtanga is. Thank you Purple Valley and Kino for sharing.

[@Loveyogaanatomy]

Hey Nik, you must have had this in the bottom draw for a while. Great to see Kino composed and tranquil.

[@corriemathiowetz2135]

Kino is amazing! And this is beautiful to witness the capabilities of the human body. I have many questions of some of the wisdom of the Jois's postures. As a vipassana practitioner & vinyasa/hatha yogi I'm always looking for new space in the body and experiencing the energy flowing better. I can't help but question, since I don't have the capability of doing some of these deep postures, if they actually contain and insight or wisdom or if the challenge is just another version of trying to tame ego by letting it explore the extremes, or if it's bone remodeling for which the consequences likely won't be experienced until the days she can no longer practice - I was told with contortionist that their bodies can do all kinds of things until the stop practicing and then the body just gives out bc the bone structures are not stable -anyone else confirm this? Beyond the egos desires to continue challenging its self so it's not bored with the first 3 series, is there additional unfolding that can't be found without them? or the energetic discovery that comes with some of these postures? - especially as the physical practices of yoga are considered more modern and really not part of the sutras or other styles of yoga i've encountered? Desikchar wasn't teaching these things as far as I know. I guess the questions also include when is enough, enough? We live in a world of so many extremes, some are leading edge, some are cliffs, is Kino's and whomever else are practicing 4th,, 5th, 6th series, are they more yogi, or more self-aware or are their lives better bc of such things? or perhaps just working out and carrying well for the body enough? Id love to know what the advanced series actually give her.🙏

[@gvaudenay]

Muy inspirador Kino! Maravillosa! Es bello el fruto de tu perseverancia y amor al Yoga! Dios bendiga tu práctica hoy siempre , Gracias!

[@brucemorishita9772]

Today is the first time I have seen this it seems that everybody is of the same mindset. Everybody seems to be very accomplished in their studies. In the Eastern way of life, we observe, learn, see, hear, something, then we look inward. So it is taught. It is very simple, we simply do it. What is, is. In this case it is ,Kino We, as the students of the way of life, see it, then look inward. We just do it. We simply do it.

Just like the opening chant sings - I’m truly thankful to someone like Kino for teaching and showing Ashtanga yoga and continuing the lineage. Is there any video of K. Pattabhi Jois practising or demonstrating left somewhere that we can watch?

The ashtanga school and these series originated in India 😊 this isn’t a western practice!
