Chalky - the cart before the horse

[Guest guest]

Eagerness is certainly a positive quality when

learning something new BUT why worry about Intermediate,

and Advanced Sections and their method and approach

when you have not even studied with a competent

teacher let alone any teacher at all! Saving money for

Mysore is sure gonna be difficult when you're throwing

good cash away on inferior books, manuals and videos.

Is it too late to get refunds on any of that

clutter? Go to the source, Friend. If not Mysore just yet

then start with Sri Jois's own book Yoga Mala and the

excellent Yoga Works produced tape of Sri Jois leading

Primary series to a group of six accomplished and long

time practitioners. Oh and don't forget the

possibility of studying with an accomplished teacher who

practices daily, speaks highly of Guruji and visits Mysore

regularly to study and learn.<br>Ashtanga Yoga - it may

surprise you- is not a sandwich! As a matter of fact has

nothing what so ever to do with a sandwich or making a

sandwich. This classical system of yoga is a vinyasa system

which means a breathing system and can only be learned

from a qualified teacher. And Friend, a teacher cannot

be qualified in one weekend, four months, after one

trip to India or at the end of an electronic question

and answer period. <br><br>Instead of putting one

cart or several before the horse I would suggest

dangling a carrot - contentment. For that is what daily

practice will bring.<br><br>enjoy - m.p.
