Total time - 1:13.

NOTE - an earlier version of this video was 1:08 in length and omitted the following postures: Navasana, Bhujapidasana, Kurmasana, Garba Pindasana, Kukkutasana, and Baddha Konasana. The video was re-edited and repackaged in 2001 with those postures restored, but the video still skips a lot of the breaths in downward dog in the salutations.

About 25 students in a room about 20' by 45' with hardwood floor.
Patabhi Jois calls out all postures and counts all breaths and performs adjustments.
Vinyasas are done between postures including between left and right sides.
Spoken intro: " During his 1993 world tour, Pattabhi Jois of Mysore India, taught Ashtanga yoga classes in California. This video of the first series was made in the early morning hours of October 22nd at yoga works in Santa Monica."
Video begins with OM and prayer.
