We have a digital DVD available for download that is a complete demonstration of the asanas, or postures, of the Ashtanga yoga Primary series.   The foundational, or Primary series, is the first of six asana series that a practitioner will move through in Ashtanga, though many will never leave Primary.  Primary is very challenging.   Primary is more than enough for a whole lifetime for many people.

This is the man who demonstrates the postures in said DVD:

Richard Freeman is a very funny man, with a very bendy body.  He will show you what Primary series looks like after you have been practicing for forty years.  If you try to look like him when you practice you will make yourself very upset…so don’t try.  Plus, you could hurt yourself.   Not to mention make an asana of yourself.  However be prepared to be overcome with the urge to move and stretch while watching said DVD.  Stretching is what dissipates all that tension that sits in your shoulders and rests in your lower back.  The deep breathing that goes hand in hand with the postures will air you out like a bright Spring day!

This is how you will feel after practicing:

Ashtanga Yoga: The Primary Series

There is a saying out there that goes something like this: Everybody can practice yoga…….the old, the young, the sick, the stiff, the unathletic, the big, the little.  The only people who can’t practice yoga are the lazy people!  The best way to practice is with a teacher, but for those just curious, or wanting to see a dedicated yogi do his thing, this DVD is very useful.  And easy to download.  As with our other Overdrive products, limited checkout periods apply.
