Erin
those of you who have bought is videos how long do you think it would take to even get through the third video if your a beginner
Joshua
Tony was certified by the Ghosh’s yoga college not Bikram. Though you are correct he was a student of Bikram. In those days, Bikram was not certifying people,you had train for a least 4 years then go to india and get tested by Ghosh.
Carolyn

Frank

Benjamin
guys should be able to.
if females can guys can do it too.
Phyllis
nice video, however, I am not too keen on using words like “perfectly” when describing a yoga asana. Perfect is not a goal anyone should be ascribing for. It does not exist.
Sally
can guys do that? i mean, do mostly do that in class or are there any guys too?
im about to take it next sem of my college year.
Leroy

Heather
It impressed me very much!

I’m from Calcutta, India and the Bengali language does not have the sound V. So Bikram’s real name is Vikhram, but both he and other Bengali’s cannot pronounce the letter V so they say Bikram. ex: they don’t say Very Good, they say Berry Good, they don’t say Victory, they say Bhiktory, and Bishnu Ghosh’s real name was Vishnu Ghosh. Bikram has lived in the US so long and he still can’t pronounce the word V? One would think he would have studied and used his yoga brain?duh… NAMUSTE, nowmustgo!

i bought the set of 4 dvds, and i’m still doing the first one several months after but i still findi t fun and challenging. there is no way ill ever reach his flexibility although it is the journey to getting there that I’m enjoying, and if i never reach his level i dont give a shit because i had fun trying. soon ill crack open the second third and fourth dvds and give them a try. to anyone thinking about getting em do it its a wicked investment.
Bobby
The advanced positions in the second half of the video look like fun. I want to try them.
Jon
The only difference between this Ghosh/Bikram style and the Ashtanga that I do is that Ashtanga has vinyasa between the asanas. All the true, traditional styles are essentially the same, you can’t go wrong with any of them.
Monica
a true yoga expert,at least in the asanas.
Ana
wow…. i can`t believe it…. that´s amazing.

“Panini?” That’s funny. Was that a joke or did you mean Patanjali? I hope you intentionally meant panini because that would be hilarious. Anyway, what I like about Tony is that in his website he also gives credit to Swami Sivananda and mentions the little known fact that Bhisnu Gosh worked in conjunction with Swami Sivananda to develop the hatha yoga cirriculum that Bikram minus the heat derived his system from. I never knew that those two styles shared a common lineage. Pretty cool no?
Gail
HE LOOKS LIKE HE ITS DRUNK
April
?Very good video?
Terry
i think the credit must go for “panini”
yoga is not discovered by ghosh neither by tony sanchez etc… etc…
Lloyd
Yoga is not sports.without winner or loser.That is a religion taking a happiness.The muse of blooming lotus.Every pose grow yoga`s pose with the breathing and ???????????????lotus is the most bassic pose. ….??????????????????????????????????????????
Michelle
Meditation is not just sitting in lotus and following your breath or other objects of focus. The greatest meditation masters have taught that meditation can achieved while breathing, walking, eating, talking, and even while doing asanas. Asanas themselves if done with awareness leads to meditative state. It’s about the amount of presence one brings to one’s practice.
Rebecca
He said the lineage is from Bhisnu Gosh. He didn’t say he learned it from Bhisnu Gosh or met him. He’s a Bikram student, but Bikram, though his yoga is called by his name, gives all credit to his guru, Bhishnu Gosh, in his writings and in various interviews.
Leroy
Tony studied with Bikram and Ghosh
