Richard Freeman has achieved international acclaim for his graceful mastery of the Ashtanga form of yoga. Richard has practiced and taught yoga since 1968. With over nine years of intensive study in Asia, he brings a unique synthesis of meditative disciplines to light. In the Intermediate Series DVD, Richard builds on the alignment and internal skills taught in his Primary Series video. The Intermediate Series is a continuous dynamic flow of nearly 70 postures which specifically give access to the central axis of the body. As the Primary Series is grounding, strengthening and calming, so the Intermediate Series is opening, exhilarating and awakening. Their combined effect is that the mind can enter meditation with both brilliance and calmness. **Caution: The exercises in this video are part of a progressive series. Students should have mastered the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga before attempting the Intermediate Series.
