FBL,<br> <br>I just wanted to know if Ashtanga

Yoga really is "the original form of Yoga" it so often

claims to be: most facts say that it is not; the Yoga

Korunta legend is misleading, because it let's you

believe that you are doing an ancient practice which in

fact is quite modern.<br><br>But you are right: in our

daily practice all this is of no importance. Ashtanga

Yoga clearly has its own value, regardless of whether

it is invented or not. Just keep your eyes open, use

your own mind, and don't believe ANYTHING they tell

you.

This Thing was claimed to be the literary source

of this yoga. But was it? From all we know now,

doesn't seem likely.<br><br>This leads us to make a more

rational appraisal: astanga vinyasa yoga wasn't discovered

in a library, or handed down to us by the Ancients.

Rather, its origins appear to have much to do with the

inspiration and creativity of KPJ and SK.

Who, exactly, makes this claim? I have never

heard anyone claim this who is a qualified teacher. No

one that I call a friend or teacher has ever asked me

to believe in the factual validity of mythological

scripture in order to be accepted as a student of Ashtanga

Yoga. Anyone who does is full of shite. Why are you so

suspicious? <br><br>FBL

I've been practicing Hatha Yoga for about ten

years, and I think the enlightenment issue is a valid

one. Looking at the hostility of your posts, I wonder

if 99.9% practice and 0.01% theory is all that

valid? Is Ashtanga Yoga really that useful, or are all

practicioners as hostile as yourself???<br><br>Just a

question,<br><br>Jeremiah Cornelius
