I get so sick of cultic pre-rational

[Guest guest]

As far as the inadvisablity of altering the

postures/sequences, your argument was based directly on the idea that

these particular "astanga" sequences/postures came from

Krishnamacharya. That's what I was responding to.<br><br>I don't

see any evidence that argues against some degree of

change of this system, not from Krishanmacharya (whose

story of the antiquity of the "astanga" system of hatha

yoga is doubtful at best, and who also authorized the

somewhat contrarian Viniyoga and Iyengar systems), not

from any of his students (including PKJ Jois, who has

altered and continues to alter the sequences and

postures), and not even from Patanjali's very liberal sutras

-- which hardly say a thing about asana.
