I'm so glad you didn't take this video down. I think ahimsa is the most important part of the Yogic journey and the fact that advanced practitioners are engaging in himsa, that is by silently speaking ill of your journey, reflects on their own journey. You have inspired my journey through Yoga so much, I am so thankful for you and your desire to share the lineage of Ashtanga in the way you have. Namaste Guru, I look forward to studying with you in June.
I can see your passion through your eyes for Ashtanga/Mysore yoga and it's indescribable unless you practice. I share this passion also and hope to one day teach Ashtanga yoga and bring this message to all.
Hearing your journey towards self-love through yoga is giving me faith that my journey will be as fruitful. I'm having goosebumps just thinking about it. Thank you for this inspiring story. I am going to heed your advice. "Keep going, keep having faith, keep practicing."
Hi Kino ... I've been following your yoga clips for many years and have derived a lot of inspiration from you for my own yoga practice. I read your article " Confession of a loved ad hated Astangi". I was impressed by your candor and self awareness. You are doing a great service to yoga in your own way, so don't have any doubts. When I heard your mind in this article, a thought that crossed my mind was that you could get a great boost to your spiritual growth by sparing some time for vipassana meditation. Hope you'd consider this!
a week now i've started ashtanga, you are the one who inspire me to do so! you are so passionate when you speak , that video is so powerful ! you are giving us a gift when sharing ! thanks 🌸
Thank you for sharing your experience Kino. My process in yoga has been slow indeed, but when I think of where I started then I can see the improvements and that the practice works!
Love this for a couple of reasons. One, I was surprised to see a yoga teacher I recently studied with in the video. (He's assisting.) Small world! Plus, I love the constant that is expressions on someone's faces when they practice. My favorite (and I believe everyone has their own version of this) is the shocked, happy, "What WAS that?" look that people have immediately after the receive a deep assist that surprises them because they experience an asana so differently than ever before. :)
Thank you for sharing your honest, noble and gracious astanga journey with us. You really make me want to go to Mysore. Its also very comforting to hear your have struggled with injuries too and that they heal more then the body when we release the pattern Burning those samskaras!!! Thank you -you are a brilliant teacher. Namaste!
What a coincidence! You are practising next to my teacher Arjuna. When I work with him I experience the same miracle you are describing: I can do stuff that I am usually not physically able to do. It is like his presence opens doors for me to grow and develop! Sadly, as soon as I am back home, I am my own little self again... But that does not matter. I know now that a lot of things are anatomically possible for me that I didn't believe in and that one day I will find a way, I just need to keep trying.
I luv what you are expressing in this vid, Kino! Definitely shows your sincere practice - on all levels. Previously i only was aware of your asana videos. Please let me know if you ever come to Northern India. You are most welcome here.
Kino, I've had my "RU-vid" yoga inspirations, one after another, but then my yoga teacher (who teaches Ashtanga of the Jois manner) pointed me in your direction and I must say I now know what the word resonation means. You are definitely an inspiration and a fountain of knowledge!

Kino, I just read your post on EJ. Please keep wearing your shorts and teaching us. I do not think you even remotely realise how many of us you have inspired and helped woth your dedication and practice, with your freely available tutorials. You rule!!!
beautiful video! Thanks for giving us a peak into the life in Mysore, I eagerly await when I can make he journey! And the thing you said about pain going away with Guruji is amazing and something I've experienced with my teacher! Such a great practice, thanks for all the videos! :)
Such a beautiful video..it inspires me to want to go to Mysore. I don't know if or when the right time for me will come...but I loved watching and hearing your words.
***** You are the reason of my getting back to ashtanga practise after I left it few years ago. Thank you ever so much for igniting the sparkle in me again. I have got back to practise and my life has taken a new turn. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope to practise with you one day.
Hi Kino! My name is Jennifer and U was hoping you could post Mir more videos about yoga during pregnancy. I have had the worst morning sickness and have fallen out of my routine for abbot 2 weeks now. I am really starting to feel the effects of it and I know I need to get back into my yoga practice. I love your videos and thank you for sharing your practice, very inspiring. Much love -Jen. Namaste
Just practice, don't worry about the physical, spiritual, or emotional outcomes of your practice. I've heard too many times about the spiritual connection with the world and the enduring compassion that results from years of practice. Yoga teachers seem out of touch sometimes. It is easy to feel warm and loving when you stretch for a living. Just practice because there are always things in this world that can change how you feel but the routine of daily practice will feel relatively the same.
Dear Kino, thank you for this talk! I am a fan of LedZep as well :) You are coming to Moscow in august, but I am not so advanced yet in my practice to visit your classes. I hope to do it next time. Yoga is really beautiful, and I am glad I started practicing. Thank you for the videos and tips. See you some time :) Good luck to you! Ruzanna, Moscow.
Watched this after reading Kino's article in Elephant Journal about being hated. At a guess, I'd say a lot of the negative comments are from people who are jealous of Kino.
Exactly what I love about Ashtanga, it brings your bullshit front and center and you have to deal with it instead of hiding. Love this video Kino, thanks for continuing to inspire me!
I have been doing my yoga practice now about 5 days a week since march of this year about 6 months. Is there a certain amount of time that you should be in practice before trying some of the back bends I have seen you do in your videos? Thanks Kino Chris
