The Power of Ashtanga Yoga II: The Intermediate Series: A Practice to Open Your Heart and Purify Your Body and Mind

As I read this informative book I am reminded of being in one of Kino's workshops; it's written as eloquently as she speaks. This book, intended for the experienced Ashtangie practitioner, is detailed with such specific and pertinent information, I find it incredibly helpful. She also helps us to understand some of Gurugi's sutra's. A must have if you're a seasoned primary (or intermediate) series student looking for more.

I have bought both " the power of Ashtanga Yoga I &II", I think these books are good for studying Ashtanga Yoga like textbooks.

I have been following Kino for over a year now. She has been my motivator, my teacher, and the person I go to if I am not quite sure where to go next in life. And all of that is without even meeting her! These books have been my guides. Her explanations of every breath, drishti, asana... Are more than you could ever ask for from a book. There are no Ashtanga Yoga classes around me, so I'm teaching myself, with these books they make it ten times easier! Kino I am so grateful for these amazing books that you have written for us! Keep them coming!! BUY THIS BOOK YOU WONT REGRET IT!

I like her book because the size is less stress to follow the sentences for Japanese intermediate English level users.Her demonstrated photograph does not seem to be serious face, having humor like lovely many Americans, but showed very kindly put the advices to remove practitioners mind block and encourage the challenge mind.I like the tecsture of papers, prints inc, I appreciate Kino is woman, English speakers, Eastward American.But Ashtanga yoga demands me 99 present practice and 1persen't theory so for intermediate bigginers like me, I recommend to meet her DVD and in my case I cannot find the good teacher around me because here is rural area, so trust my inner boby voice and her voice guidance in addition the dvd's practitioner's body movement, I try to absorb advanced body movement, imitate their ways and repeat my self practice.I am 30 years old and three year experience for my practice, many obstacles try to pull the value of ashtanga yoga, and my dedication for practice.But I am lucky to follow this path.Kino is very trustable one of the ashtanga yoga teacher as a woman in this era.Thank you so much.I am lucky to be able to get her works through the amazon.

I love this book! As someone beginning to transition from first series to second, this book compliments the many wonderful ones out there because of the quality and depth of the information it provides. Backing asana practice with knowledge is one of the most important ways a person can begin to improve and this book is a stepping stone to a deeper and more fulfilling practice for anyone - whether they've been practicing for ten minutes or ten years.

Very good a lot great and helpful info.

I love Kino's books, always very detailed and easy to read for the aspiring ashtangie

Great book as always from Kino.

good read and easy to use

West invented electricity in 1890 and whole world has access to electricity within 100 years. West invented internet in 1980 and the whole world has access to internet within 20-30 years......Indians invented Yoga 5000 years ago and for 4900 years the world Did NOT have a clue about it....even most Indians did not have access to this immensely powerful knowledge....it was hijacked by a few Indians.. It's only when the Westerners like Kino stumbled upon it in last 100 years or so, today the whole world, including most Indians have access to this incredible life changing thing called Yoga.Big thanks to Kino and many westerners like her (and a few exceptional Indians like Ramdev) whose big, golden hearts have uplifted millions from their sufferings. Even she may not realise what a great feat Kino has managed to pull off by her lifetime dedication to spreading the light of yoga to every human being. She won't admit or understand but her contribution to Yoga is far greater than even her Gurus.The book is phenomenal. Every page is filled with deep insights, helpful suggestions. It's a joy to immerse yourself in this book. A must have book for any regular yoga practitioner.

Ottimo libro, molto dettagliato e ben fatto, è un degno successore del precedente libro. Sono davvero soddisfatta di averlo acquistato! Inoltre è arrivato in tempi brevissimi!!

Yet another beautifully written book by the wonderful Kino MacGregor. This one takes you on the journey on the intermediate series of Ashtanga. I bought it to read on the beach and was not disappointed. Its inspiring and insightful, provides clear instructions on how to perform these challenging asanas. It was like watching her YouTube tutorials in book form.Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to begin their intermediate journey or for practitioners already on the journey.

I really liked all the information and the small details author shares. I’m practicing second series few years now and this book gave me many new info. 🙏
