Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 "Get out of you're house and find a way to learn asana from teachers."<br>You are like the cristians who believe only in their god. You believe only in teachers? I visited sometimes even Iyengar-classes (it is said that they are better in theory like ashtangaboys) where the teachers were not able to answer questions. Imo: One good book can help more than 2 half-good teachers. And once more, and again and again, there is one book and a very good book to learn the basics, the book of Beryl Bender Birch. It is much better than many other books that we have discussed here from certified teachers, because in BBBB (BBB's book) there are explanations, so you are able to understand what you are doing. Exactly that is the point, why Iyengar is so popular, because of this understanding of asanas. The students are able to follow. BBB is not only writing stories, but she also could give advice in many cases; you don't find this in most other ashtanga-books. Yes, this is one/my reality, I'm sorry. You all ashtanga-saints should read it again with tolerance. As I asked here some years ago where is the difference between Power-Yoga and Ashtanga-Yoga I only got few satisfied answers from you; do you really know the difference, or want you only follow the ashtanga-god? The path to go named ashtanga, this path is inside us, it is the way of living and like we treat us and other persons. It is not to find in a book or to get from a teacher, and you always have to look what the teacher is saying. BBB is telling stories, yes, but she also have insights to tell how to make - this is especially for the beginner the most important thing. Once on this path he/she could choose. May be without BBB even some very hard ashtanga-boysn'girls there outside did not have heard of ashtanga; she made this ashtanga-revolution possible, and, not to forget, may be she is responsible for P.J. is able to buy CK-shorts? - - No, today I'm not tolerant: BBB's book is one of the best to learn this method. After reading it and learning with it, you are able to work with other books and certified books too. Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
