sun salute question

[Guest guest]

In the beginning is the breath: I inhale, then I

exhale, arranging my body into samasthitih, and gaze down

at my nose.<br><br>Then, I jump through all the 9

vinyasas of sun salute A - and don't forget to synchronize

breath with movement, and look at the nose, and the

thumbs, the third eye and...whew, I am in samasthitih

again. I feel a little warmer already, and now...Now

what?? Do I have to repeat sun A for another 4 times

before proceeding to sun B, or may I alternate between

the two? Since this is what I am doing: I do one sun

A first, then one sun B, then the 2nd sun A

followed by sun B no. 2, and so on , until I've returned

to samasthitih in the suns 10 X all together. Would

KPJ approve?? Or is the way I alternate between the

two suns wrong?

> Or is the way I alternate between the two

suns wrong? <br><br>'fraid so. The correct way is 5 A

then 5 B. Don't ask me why because I don't know, but

if it's good enough for KPJ it's good enough for me.

I look at A as a general warmup (bodily and

mentally) for B. Basically, I see A as a means of making a

safer transition to B, B the means for a safe

transition to the other asanas of the series as we go along,

etc.
