Did any of the German residents here see the

"MaxQ" programme on BR this evening about the

renaissance of yoga therapy & traditional Indian

medicine?<br><br>Nothing specifically ashtanga but lots of interesting

things - BKS Iyengar teaching and demonstrating -

effortless drop-backs, padmasana in sirsasana, (fairly)

effortless viparita shalabasana. And a Dr Karandashar (? -

can't read my own notes), also in Pune, teaching yoga

therapy with a *totally cool* skeleton doing vasihthasana

in his office.<br><br>Also some interesting stuff on

Ayurveda - a clinic where people where being treated

ayurvedically instead of conventional chemotherapy after cancer

ops; and controversy over people both in India and the

west hawking diluted and commercialised versions of

"ayurvedic" products.<br><br>Altogether very interesting. I'm

generally impressed with the standard of documentaries on

German TV - almost makes up for the general unbelievable

lameness of the comedy ;-)<br><br>And all this hot on the

heels of last year's yoga documentary, in which the

sharp-eyed could spot me for about two seconds in the back

row of an ashtanga class. Still admittedly not quite

the same as Lino on national TV in Finland (although

there are more than twice as many people in Bavaria as

there are in Finland, according to my world atlas)
