Anyone seen Lino Miele's full vinyas

I have both seen the video and done full vinyasa

classes with Lino (although I don't have the t-shirt) and

yes, that is exactly what it means. Half (aka

"normal") vinyasa between sides, full vinyasa returning to

standing between asanas. It gets worse too. Sarvangasana

(shoulder stnad) chakrasana to halasana, chakrasana to

karnapidasana (etc.)<br><br>Worse yet is the way BNS Iyengar

teaches paschimotanasana - purvottasana between each

variation. Aargh!<br><br>See message #1424 for a review of

Lino's video.

Also take a look at John Scott's book "Ashtanga Yoga". I haven't seen Lino's

video yet either, but I guess Scott's book is very much in sync with it.

Definitely worth getting!!

It is a very good video, in my opinion the only one that is worth to watch after

being practicing for awhile.<br>Also full vinyasa is a very nice tecnique, it

stills the mind better.

Full vinyasa is a very nice technique, but don't

forget that actually it is supposed to be practised only

*after* having sufficiently mastered the primary series.

<br><br>I wanted to learn yoga chikitsa in full vinyasa

from the start, until Lino Miele told me that it's all

wrong, and that as a beginner I should learn to do the

series in half vinyasa first.

To shining skull:<br><br>Why is it that beginners

shoudn't do full vinyasa?<br><br>Does Guruji teach full

vinyasa?<br><br>I have never even heard/read/talked about this

technique with anybody, which seems weird to me.. Which one

is considered to be better/the right technique?

Inermis--doing primary series in full vinyasa is

very challenging, so it's nothing for beginners. Lino

would tell you that you should start with full vinyasa

only "if you are ready".<br><br>It is my understanding

that full vinyasa is the form the astanga series were

originally meant to be practised. Lately however, Guruji

seems to have expressed his reservations about this

method of always coming back to samasthitih after each

pose, saying (I think) that it could put the heart

under too much strain. Full vinyasa is rarely

practised, not least because it takes a veery long time to

complete the series this way.<br><br>I can't tell you what

they do in Mysore, because I've never been there

myself. But I think to have read somewhere that Guruji

does not teach full vinyasa in his classes in Mysore.

Alan, half (aka "normal") vinyasa between sides,

full vinyasa returning to standing between asanas -

okay. Worse yet is the way BNS Iyengar teaches

paschimotanasana - purvottasana between each variation. Aargh! -

Aargh?? No, it's something for kids! Stiff yogis (and

those who want to become real yogis) try to combine

BOTH ways: after every asana do pashimottanasana,

purvottanasana AND full vinyasa! That seems quite good for me.

(And afterward a cup of bear).<br>(please that was

only a joke! - but, if someone wants to try, tell us

your experience!) Lu

Friends...full vinyasa is the real secret to

astanga yoga. The true "Siddhis" awaken after doing full

vinyasa 6 days a week for 3 years. At that point, all

grantis are dissolved, all 32,000 Nadis are completely

purified, and the sushumna channel fully blossoms sending

the kundalini to the sahasrar. Feels

great.<br><br>Actually, full vinyasa is a good idea if you really want to

increase your endurance levels, or if the room is cold and

you need something extra if "sweat is not

coming."<br><br>Full vinyasa is a bad idea if you are over-heating.

Alan, Heilixplächle, i komm aus dem

Schwaaabenland! -<br>- but, nice practice you mentioned from BNS,

I will try how it feels. What are your experiences

in practicing these both ways between the asanas? Lu

Well, I can't say I really have experience of

practicing the way Mr Iyengar teaches primary series, which

has several slight differences from the "standard"

approach. I followed my standard policy whenever I go to a

workshop - do whatever the teacher there says during the

workshop, (a) out of politeness and (b) to see what I might

learn from it - but then go back to practicing the

"standard" primary series to the best of my knowledge &

ability when I go home.<br><br>I hope to get a write-up

of the workshop I did with Mr Iyengar onto my

website soon, which means within the next week because

after that I'm going to Mysore for three or four

months. Then I'll really be sure I know the correct,

standard primary series.
