Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 there may be many "visitors" and even contributors reading this who are afraid to ask exactly why it is a criminality to deviate from traditional form. As our resident purist, it may be informative to many if you would set out factually the benefits of studying ashtanga the "correct method". In fact there will probably be many contributors. It could be a good refresher. ?.<br><br>I checked out the atlanta address and the one john meredith you mentioned. I could find forgiveness ....well what was the criminality?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 Oh please! It's almost sad that I'm responding to your message about Adele, but I think someone should back her up. I took a look at your "YOGA CRIM" list - I think the majority of instructors fit the bill because of #10:<br>"ever eat anything other than raw rutabaga, swiss chard or carrot puree."<br>Give her credit where credit is due. Picking people apart because they are not "pure" enough is insane. Which means I think your list is insane. I agree that being too commercial or straying from non-traditional practice is not good, but she definitely doesn't do either of those things (period).<br>I have taken yoga for a number of years & Adele recently opened my eyes to Ashtanga yoga while I was working in Atlanta. She was the best yoga instructor I've ever encountered (and I've tested out a lot of different instructors). She's also a great role model (even though she doesn't try to be - others just brand her with that term).<br><br>PS She is a very strong women - I don't know if I'd call her "buff" (too thin for that term), but...something close.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Obviously you have never met Adele or John, or been to Atlanta Yoga! There isn't a better Ashtanga studio anywhere, and Adele and John, (besides being buff), are the best of teachers. I should know, they are my teachers and over the past few years they have taught me, at the least, the primary series -- yes! as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois -- and at the most, yoga that spills from the mat into my life.<br><br>Namaste Om Shanti, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
