Ashtanga Yoga Sun Salutation / Surya Namaskara B with Kino MacGregor

http://kinoyoga.com/
The Sun Salutation is the foundational movement of the Ashtnaga Yoga method. Performed at the beginning of each practice this flowing series is meant to awaken the inner fire, agni, of purification and is also a salutation to the solar fire. At first the fire of purification burns through impurities and then after years of practice it transforms into the fire of awakening itself. In this clip extracted from Kino's new DVD to be released soon you will see a demonstration of the Sun Salutation B or Surya Namaskara B of the Ashtanga Yoga Series.

hi kino I have a little difficulty on downward dog my hands are very sweaty so I start slipping and can't sustain the pose any tips????? because I feel I lose the alignment

[KinoYoga]

If your hands are sweaty put a towel down over your mat :-) That's an easy fix.

Hi Kino, at minute 0:22 , did you jump directly into 1) Chaturanga or 2) Plank, then Chaturanga ? Thank you. :)

[KinoYoga]

You can do either, depending on how strong your shoulders are.

Thanks lots for this Kino..my main struggle with Surya B is alway timing the breath with the movements. There are quite a lot of movements to B and I always find my breath is not always deep enough to complete all the movements for a single inhale/exhale...so I end up taking extra breaths or holding my breath. I guess I should either speed up the movements to match my breathing rate or try to extend my breath. Thanks again for all your awesome videos!

[KinoYoga]

Or, of course, if need be you can take an extra breath. Check out my course on Udemy because I break down Surya B there.
