#197: Tristhana Unveiled: Breath, Body, ...

KINO MACGREGOR
About this episode

Join Kino and Tim as they explore Tristhana, the foundational framework of Ashtanga Yoga that unites breath, body, and mind. Whether you are new to the practice or have been teaching for years, this episode offers a deeper look at how these three elements work together to cultivate presence, focus, and transformation.

 

Breath serves as the bridge between body and mind, asana creates embodiment and healing, and focused awareness sharpens the mind, leading to profound inner growth. Through years of dedicated practice, these principles become the gateway to peace and awakening.

 

Kino and Tim also examine key Yoga Sutras that contextualize the Tristhana method within yoga’s spiritual tradition, bringing historical depth and meaning to the practice. This discussion will expand your understanding of Ashtanga Yoga and provide practical insights to integrate into your journey.
