Kino MacGregor's story
Without any background in movement training, Kino 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 Ashtanga yoga practitioner.
After seven months of traditional Ashtanga 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 Ashtanga yoga. After seven years of consistent trips to Mysore, at the age of 29, she received from Guruji the Certification to teach Ashtanga yoga and has since worked to pass on the inspiration to practice to countless others.
Passionate about the environment, ethical fashion and conscious consumerism she believes that if everyone on Earth practiced yoga, we would have a more peaceful planet.
Kino teaches all over the world, and is the author of three books, producer of six DVD’s, a vlogger, world traveler, co-founder of Miami Life Center and founder of Miami Yoga Magazine.
