Science behind astanga...

[Guest guest]

Hi...I just reviewed a post Miss Pinky made a

while back about power yoga VS. astanga...I am

currently writing an article on this topic and would love

to know your sources on this! I am also a new

astangi and searching for answers. My sources thus far

have been yoga texts such as Yoga Mala, Light on Yoga

and others that I have flipped through at the

library. I am most interested in your recources for

astanga yoga and the science behind it. Other than the

carpal tunnel research, I am not aware of any and am

currently researching this. Any help you could give me is

much appreciated! Thanks you...Sandy<br>"Power v.

Traditional - Yoga is an actual science. If one practices the

science as it has been proved to be effective one will

achieve the actual results of that science. Ashtanga Yoga

is the prescribed path towards awareness of our true

nature and that of the universe. It is a path of harmony

and union with God. Power yoga is exercise. If you

want the results of the science of yoga you are

wasting your time to pursue a non- scientific approach.

If you are interested in becoming a God conscious

person, practice Ashtanga Yoga. If you are interested in

becoming body concious then go to the gym or do power err

yoga."

I don't believe in gods and I'm certainly not

very interested in becoming more 'God-conscious',

whatever that means. I like the physical and mental

effects of Ashtanga, why should I change to Power

Yoga...?

If you believe in yourself, it is fine and you will enjoy your practice.

Physical and mental changes you experience is the best thing of the practice of

Ashtanga.<br>www.yogelements.com/yogivishwa
