Ashtanga Yoga

Mark Darby, Nicole Bordeleau
Year Released: 2004

Categories: Yoga


This is a bi-lingual Canadian production. The instructions are done voiceover and you can choose between French and English. You also have choices in the length of practice: 90-minute Primary Series, 30-minute Short Form and 10-minute Short Practice. There are no DVD chapters within the three practices and no music. The set is spacious although austerely done in shades of orange. The camera work is good and one can tell this is a professionally-done production.

It's a shame I have such an aversion to orange sets, because the Primary Series is a very complete practice. I am also impressed with how they made the poses accessible to beginners (as shown by Nicole Bordeleau) and yet very challenging to experienced practitioners (as shown by Mark Darby).

Instructor Comments:
Nicole Bordeleau is unremarkable but Mary Darby has exceptional form and a very soothing voice.
