My understanding is that Swenson's Advanced tape

illustrates the advanced postures as he learned them over 20

years ago-- broken up into two series, Advanced A and

B. Guruji later changed the organization of the

postures, breaking up the Advanced A and B series into 3rd

through 6th series.<br><br>If this is true, then

Swenson's tape is probably not meant as a teaching aid, but

as a document, to preserve the advanced postures the

way they used to be taught. Assuming that's the case,

Swenson is doing the Ashtanga world a huge favor by

making the video. It will allow people in the future to

see how Ashtanga has evolved.<br><br>Somebody please

correct me if I'm misinformed about the Advanced A & B

issue.<br><br>Also, Senor, I think that there are plenty of older

Ashtangis out there who would take exception to your

chracterization of Swenson as an "old timer." Isn't he only in

his mid forties? I certainly hope to be practicing

when I'm that age (in twenty years)!

Advanced A and B have been transformed to 3rd,4th

and 5th. The 6th series is unknown all over the

world, except to Sharath ,who is practicing it, and PK

Jois who is teaching it to Sharath only.<br><br>BNS

Iyengar, who is based in Mysore, was also a

Krishnamacharya student and has the same claim to authenticity

and respect as an Ashtanga Vinyasa "Guru"/teacher as

PK Jois,and is around the same age as PK Jois, has

always taught First, Second, Advanced A and B.
