Description
Kino MacGregor is one of a select group of people to receive the Certification to teach Astanga Yoga by its founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. The youngest woman to hold this title, she has completed the challenging Third Series and is now learning the Fourth Series.

Without any background in movement training Kino MacGregor tried her first yoga class when she was nineteen. Three years later, she joined Govinda Kai’s Mysore-style classes in New York City and became a dedicated Astanga yoga practitioner. After seven months of traditional Astanga practice Kino traveled to Mysore, India to meet her true teacher, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (“Guruji”). Upon her return she began real self-practice by practicing alone and devoting herself entirely to the study and teaching of Astanga yoga. After seven years of consistent trips to Mysore, at the age of 29, she received from Guruji the Certification to teach Astanga yoga and has since worked to pass on the inspiration to practice to countless others. Kino is dedicated to carrying the torch of Astanga yoga throughout the world and sharing the amazing tradition of Astanga yoga with everyone who is inspired to practice.

For The House of Yoga Kino guides a Full and Half Primary Series, taking you deeply into the inner experience of the ashtanga yoga practice.
