Guest guest Posted January 25, 2001 Report Share Posted January 25, 2001 The good ashtanga books are:<br><br>Ashtanga Yoga by John Scott<br>The Practice Manual by David Swenson<br>Yoga Mala by Patthabi Jois, translated by Eddie Stern<br>Astanga Yoga by Lino Miele<br><br>Of these, I personally would recommend John Scott (1st choice) or David Swenson (2nd choice) as the best ones to learn from. But trying to learn only from a book really isn't a good idea - it should be a supplement to learning from a good teacher if you can find one where you live. There are lists of teachers at:<br><br><a href=http://www.ashtanga.com target=new>http://www.ashtanga.com</a> (kind of semi-official list of teachers personally authorised by Patthabi Jois)<br><a href=http://www.yoga.co.uk/shop/listings.php3 target=new>http://www.yoga.co.uk/shop/listings.php3</a> (mainly Britain)<br><a href=http://www.transarc.ibm.com/~jle/yoga.html target=new>http://www.transarc.ibm.com/~jle/yoga.html</a><br><br>Or if you tell us where you live, somebody here might be able to recommend a teacher nearby.<br><br>There are also hundreds of useful links, including books and teaching centres, on Terry Slade's highly useful website at:<br><a href=http://www.ionet.net/~tslade/yoga.htm target=new>http://www.ionet.net/~tslade/yoga.htm</a><br><br>Good luck<br>Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2001 Report Share Posted January 25, 2001 Does anyone know when Ashtanga Yoga by John Scott will be avaliable in the US?... amazon.com does not list it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2001 Report Share Posted January 25, 2001 If you go to <a href=http://www.amazon.com/uk, target=new>http://www.amazon.com/uk,</a> you will be able to enter your credit card info and U.S. address and order the book. They will charge you in British pounds and your credit card company will convert it to U.S. funds and charge you appropriately (it escapes me for the moment what it comes out to, around $20 maybe?). I got mine in about 10 days, which was amazing since it was at Xmas time. So there's really no need to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2001 Report Share Posted January 25, 2001 That's <a href=http://www.amazon.co.uk/ target=new>http://www.amazon.co.uk/</a> without the comma. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
