Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 namaste-<br>I take one Mysore a week, because that's all that is available, (would take more if I could-you folks at Eddie Stern are lucky! Only Mysore!), 2 led primary classes, & one pre-ashtanga.(lots of hip openers & second series work) I usually do 2-3 series at home in addition, and lots of extra sun salutes. (I don't think you can do too many of them) <br>I personally think it is important to stick with one teacher, but practice non-attachment to him/her. My teacher often does retreats, so I get lots of amazing teachers he has trained through the years, many fresh from India. They can often see your body with fresh eyes, and that can be a good thing. I don't believe in yoga school hopping, but you have to do that in the begining to see what school works for you. I trust the lineage of my school and have never been injured, despite playing the edge all the time. The Iyengar teachers there in particular have helped me a lot with my allignment, thus improving my ashtanga practice.<br> <br>Just curious-to all you booze drinkers. Do you skip practice when you are hung over, or are you troopers? Dosen't it destroy your practice? I can't imagine combining the two. Seems rather counter productive. Booze is SO toxic.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Practise gets rid of a hangover - but your sweat reeks of whatever you consumed the night before! Red wine mixed with gal sweat stinks. <br><br>And yer right, alcohol IS toxic.... but remember too much purity is also toxic. And I've had my most entertaining and hysterical moments when mashed.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2000 Report Share Posted September 4, 2000 Hi Lh....<br>Booze is SO toxic, you wrote. I absolutely agree. Nice family-dinner with bottle of red can destroy my practise the next day. I dont believe in practising when being hangoverish. Maybe it has to do with my age also, liver isnt what it used to be.<br>Interesting and strange enough, after I started ashtanga, my hangovers have been different, the physical reactions of my body have changed, in a way that I dont have the talent to describe.
