I just finished previewing the Lino Miele Primary

Series with Full Vinyasa video and, even though I

haven't digested everything yet, or noticed the

subtleties, it's definitely a keeper.The quality of the

asanas ranks up there with the Swenson and Freeman

videos.There are no instructions about how to do the asanas or

how to breath or how to anything.There are no

instructions, period.Just sanskrit counting of the vinyasas and

subtitles naming the poses and the drishti and lots of

ujayi breathing.I write this just so people know what

to expect, I was just fine with the absence of

instruction.It is funny but the breath is not Lino's but has

been superimposed on the original soundtrack.The

breath is the same (pace,length.depth)no matter how hard

or easy the pose Lino is doing and occasionally you

get the opportunity to see the expansion/contraction

of the breath in Lino's body not being synchronous

to the soundtrack.Not to mention the fact that Lino

is not miked.I know Lino is very close to PK Jois

and I am guessing everything in the video has been

OKed by him so I was (mildly) surprised to see

Paschimottanasanas A,B,C,D and E! There's A to C in Yoga Mala, A to

D in Lino's book and now A to E in Lino's

video.There's also only one repetition of Urdvha Dhanurasana at

the end,when I've seen PK Jois usually teach three

reps,but again there's only one rep in Lino's book.I

thought I knew what full vinyasa was about but I was

surprised towards the end, when Lino did the finishing

postures.Sarvangasana followed by chakrasana to Halasana and chakrasana

to Karnapidasana and chakrasana to Urdvha Padmasana

and so on for a total of 4096 mind boggling,

disorienting chakrasanas.In a couple of sessions like that

your chakrasanas will be vastly improved, I vouch for

that.You get to see impressive stuff like Surya Namaskaras

A with two handstands (one going in - Uttanasana to

handstand to Chaturanga Dandasana and one going out Adho

Mukhashvanasana to handstand to Uttanasana)and also Lino performs

Nauli while in Kukkutasana, releasing Mula Bandha as

per Yoga Mala.Anyway, it's a great video that does

honor to Ashtanga yoga and PK Jois,it might even be

good to practice to.A great presentation and excellent

motivational tool because of the very high quality practice

that it portrays, but not for beginners without

discrimination or people without a teacher who need an

instructional video.

In Lino's book, with Sharath demonstrating, A is

holding the big toes with index and middle fingers, B is

like Pada Hastasana,C is like Pada Hastasana again

only holding the sides of the feet and D is right hand

holding the left wrist.A and B are the same in the

video.In C Lino grabs hold of the sides of his feet but

interlaces his fingers, palms facing towards his soles.D is

the same.In E he reaches forward until the inside of

his elbows almost reaches his toes, bends his arms at

the elbow and, over his toes grabs with his palms his

heels,his fingers on his achilles tendon.This is done

mostly by releasing his shoulders very much forward.

Lino's Italian, no? It's typical of Italian

cinema to overdub all the dialog of a film after the

fact, so the director can stand off-camera and shout at

the actors while they're shooting. Maybe Lino had

someone on the side yelling, "mula bandha! mula bandha!"

edenlotus (hereafter, senor mula

bhanda)<br><br>thanks for the bellylaugh - it was goood.<br><br>It was

my second tonite (the other was while reading about

"the hole in the road", a story retold by ben stiller

in a book he wrote with g garafalo).<br><br>These

laughs are rare and slough off the ill effects of many

contributions on this site.

The breathing voice on Lino's video is his own,

dubbed in a studio after the actual filming. <br><br>I

am not sure if the video is approved by Pattabhi

Jois or not. Could anyone attending in NY (or

elsewhere) please ask him and post the answer here. Thanks.
