Hi freaks,<br>the most classes I know are going 90 minutes. Some less (see

shedules in internet) are going 120 minutes. What experiences did you made? Lu

I do full primary Mysore style and it takes 120-130 minutes every time. I'm sure

I can get through it 10-15 minutes faster someday when I am quicker in the

transitions (no sitting around).

Lu, <br><br>according to my experience,

practising the full Primary Series takes the 120-130 minutes

mentioned. The 90 minutes classes probably omit certain

postures, like Bhujapidasana, Kurmasana or Sirsasana and

reduce the number of Vinyasas. <br><br>Regards<br>Thomas

I agree. 90 minutes just isn't enough for most

people to get through primary series at a reasonable

pace. I can get through it in a 90 minute class, but

ony by doing half vinyasas between asanas, no

vinyasas between sides, and it's still a rush.

Try doing a workout to David Swensons video then

you`ll know what a rush is. David manages 2 vinyasas to

every one of mine ! Good video but slow down David

!<br>( not so many egomanical handstands inbetween

though , sadly )

Can't agree it takes 2 hours to do a series. I

believe 90 minutes is plenty to finish properly. 120

minutes is nice, especially if you are adding second

series postures and/or staying in sirsasana and savasana

longer(why mysore classes are the only way to go

eventually). Of course it all depends on the individual. All

the 90 minute non-mysore classes I have ever been to

take you through it all properly in 90 minutes with no

problem without omitting any postures.

Hi Sixti and Alan,<br>my question was not, how to

manage the 1st series, what time is needed to finish it,

even if we have now a very interesting discussion

about that. My question was about that item that there

are classes which takes about 120 minutes. Therefore

I don't visit often classes, I wanted to hear the

audience speaking if this space of time is too much, or

too long for being able to concentrate during 2 hours

practicing hard yoga stuff. Lu

Robin, <br><br>thanx a lot! In case you are

interested: the fish is a Giant Wrasse (also called

"Napoleon", because of its funny nose and lips), almost as

big as a human being. The picture was taken in the

Red Sea. <br><br>Never hold your breath<br>Thomas
