Customer Reviews of Yoga With Richard Freeman: Ashtanga Yoga: The Primary Series

Thankyou Mr. Freeman for a glimpse of what is possible!
Its obvious that this man is devoted to enriching the lives of others thru Yogic practise and lifestyle. He is holistic in his approach and believes in the power of putting forth his very finest in each yogic pose, as well as in each sacred moment of life. Mr. Freeman is a true metaphysician and has gone way beyond perfecting the Yogic positions, although being a world renown virtuoso at that long ago, he has spent much time on the deeper subtler aspects of the inner realm of Yoga development. This is the part that much of today's current Yoga movement has missed to some extent. If you really want to learn Yoga from a humble American Sadhu who is truly a teacher of teachers, then you really need to check in with Mr. Freeman and perhaps this video gives you a glimpse of what he has to offer. <
> Some reviewers here seem to think that his poses are too tough, but remember, this guy has been doing Yoga for 40 years, including quite a few in Asia, and so what is basic to him may seem advanced to somebody who is much newer to the scene. I must admit, that this kind mystic Richard Freeman is a very dear Friend of mine since 1970 and therefore i may be somewhat biased, but i feel that this video will show you what is possible as a beginner with Yoga. I would recommend that any serious yogi would want to have this in their collection of Master Yogi videos. If you practise yoga, and have not seen this, you really owe it to yourself to experience it. If you teach yoga, then you need this video. This man is one of the most sought after Yoga teachers on Earth, and there IS a reason why, so why not invite him into your living room?

Re: "Mr. Freeman..." review
I am writing this review in response to the one "Mr. Freeman you must be joking". <
> <
> <
>1. Ashtanga is a difficult, style of yoga. If you are not familiar with it but want to start this style, it is best to take a class, not use a video. (a video can be great for getting an idea of what to expect, but you will not get the correction and instruction that meets your individual needs from a video) <
> <
>2. Each series in Ashtanga(first, second, third, etc) is always the same sequence of poses. It is designed that one masters each pose and then moves on to the next, eventually completing the series. When one masters the first series (and this might take many years) one moves on to the second. <
> <
>3. Three months of yoga, no matter how many days a week you do it still makes you a beginner. One of my instructors has said you are a beginner until you have 10 years of consistent daily practice. Maybe that is a bit of an overstatement...but maybe not. Part of yoga is letting go of ego and being present where you are, wherever that is. <
> <
>So, yes, this is not a video for someone brand new to yoga. But if you are familiar with Ashtanga and want a tape to practice with at home, between classes, this might be exactly what you are looking for.

No easy ride
Ok....this tape is probably not for the people who like Steve Ross,or Rodney Yee...The good part is that the breathing is explained, and there are real sun salutations and no hip music and hip scenery..The part I myself dont like is that i cant do about 50% of the tape...The ashtanga poses are very advanced unless you are a flexible or experienced person...This is authentic ashtanga yoga..Richard Freeman does some amazing stuff,handstands and contortionist poses,that i imagine take years to master.For me,it is frustrating but maybe its cos I am a beginner yogi attached to results..i dont do this tape yet,(I did once)but I plan to start to begin this practice starting just on weekends..I say dont buy it though unless you are a serious yoga person...Its the most difficult tape ive ever seen..but good to own..
