I got this Kino Macgregor Ashtanga DVD for christmas and I've started following along with it once or twice a week. It's the primary series with beginner and advanced variations for most of the sequence. While I know that DVDs are far from being representative of the classroom experience - I have to say I was a little too scared to visit an Ashtanga class. Maybe later. Ashtanga is challenging. Not crazy difficult - just definite work. My hop forward to hover in handstand is getting stronger and my upward dog is getting more practice than ever. I'm enjoying it for sure.
Next stop - Bikram, Iyengar, and Aerial Yoga classes.
I'm especially psyched out of my mind about that last one.

I think it's great to have a strong home base, but then to wander to other styles once in a while. It keeps me well rounded! I'm a Bikram fanatic, but I love visiting other studios, just to see what else is out there!
This video looks great! I have a much more dated DVD with Richard Freeman doing the Ashtanga primary series... it's pretty hilarious and sooo 80s. Maybe I'll try this one :)
I took an Ashtanga class in April of 2010. I haven't been back since! It's definitely challenging, but imagine me, a brand new yogini, trying that out! I know a lot of people love MySore. I've never done that.
My favorites (so far) are Tantric Vinyasa, Vinyasa, and Restorative. :)
