Ashtanga 1:08 DVD Half First Series

Practice the depth of Ashtanga Yoga in a manageable 68-minute session.

The Ashtanga 1:08 DVD – Traditional Half First Series is a guided practice designed for students who want to experience the authentic First Series of Ashtanga Yoga but may not have time for the full 90-minute sequence.
