Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 >> You are relatively to (sic) new to the Ashtanga Vinyasa version of Hatha Yoga<<<br><br>Right. It's one year now that I do Astanga Yoga.<br><br>>> apparently have little or no familiarity with other approaches<<<br><br>Wrong. Before starting with Astanga, I did Iyengar Yoga for three years.<br><br>>> and are evidently even newer to Raja Yoga and Advaita Vedanta <<<br><br>I have to admit that my knowledge of Hindu philosophy is scarce. I try to read one page from the Bhagavad Gita & Yoga Mala every day, that's that. However, I think that in Astanga Yoga it's PRACTICE what matters, not theory. <br><br>>> And yet you feel free to express half-formed and ill-considered opinions and viewpoints on a wide variety of yoga-related topics<<<br><br>Yes, I feel free to to express my own views on Astanga Yoga here, because that's what I practise myself (do you?). If you think my opinions are 'half-formed and ill-considered', that's your problem, I personally don't care a damn. Anyway, I have no intention to become an arrogant, self-proclaimed 'scholar' like you, who feels free (!) to lecture other members on this board on yoga philosophy.<br><br>>> May we assume that your quote from Yoga Mala indicates that you have recognized your current short-comings<< <br><br>Oh did I touch a soft spot here? I quote from YOGA MALA because that's what I read myself, that's all.<br><br>As to the frequent posting, don't be fooled: I just post on this one message board only, whereas others may 'feel free' to post on Ezboard too.<br><br>Please think before posting, dude.
