"Many long time ashtanga practitioners develop a

graceful quality and line in their practice like Richard

Freeman who is a rare and authentic yogi of the highest

caliber"<br><br>Actually, i believe Richard Freeman studied Iyengar yoga

and was a certified Iyengar teacher,<br>which would

probably make him an example of how the study of alignment

can enhance your subsequent ashtanga

practice.<br><br>But some people have the gift of doing only ashtanga

yoga yet with that internal understanding of the pose.

Looking at a video of second series with guruji leading

richard , tim , chuck, etc at yogaworks i would say tim

miller, to me, is an excellent example of that.

Thank you for your reply! You answered my

original "question of teaching". I didn't think I was

tossing off misleading hearsay. I don't know how far back

you read into my messages. The method you say is used

by Guruji is exactly the method that sounds

appropriate to me, I just don't know of a slow method like

that being taught in my area which is why I asked

"what is the correct method". I originally started this

message so that someone like yourself could give me the

real picture of how Ashtanga is taught to a beginner.

<br><br>As for allignment, I most certainly don't think that

a teacher guiding their student to keep their hips

square in a pose is any form of trying to creat beauty.

I feel the opposite. The warrior 3 pose may look

beautiful if I just bend forward. But when I am taught that

the focus should be keeping my hips square to the

ground & pivoting from my hips, I may only lean over 6

inches instead of the entire way & I guarentee nobody

would want to take my picture to post it as an example

of the warrior 3 pose.The last thing my teachers

reach for is a bunch of students in pretty poses.

Having practiced less than a year, this beginner

is eager to study with the source in NYC and has

registered to do so....my only reservations are rumors that

corrections can be STRONG and women get extra physical

attention. Any advice Missy?

Missy Pinky-<br>A while back you said that you could damage your nervous system

by mixing Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga. Could you please elaborate on

this?<br><br>vt
