Ashtanga Yoga

I only had this workout briefly but I wanted to post a few comments anyway. The workout is pure Ashtanga primary series. It is assumed that you already know how to do this (i.e. not for beginners). Mark demonstrates the deeper versions of the poses while Nicole does easier modifications. Mark is unbelievably flexable. He does a really amazing sequence in one of the bonus tracks. In the workout itself, this is quite distracting. It's hard to focus on what you're doing when someone is pulling his legs over his head :)

The other problem I had with this workout is the set. It's all done against this glaring red background which reminds me of the inside of a blood vessel or something. I tend to prefer gentle outdoor settings so this was quite a turn-off for me.
