missy has a giggle

[Guest guest]

The notion that Lino was the first westerner to

understand that vinyasas were counted is a charmingly naive

and ludicrous idea! Guruji has taught lead classes

since he first travelled to America over 20 years ago.

Tim Miller has been teaching lead classes with a

sanskrit counted vinyasa for nearly 20 years (back when

Miele was still carting technical equipment around

backstage). Although many refer to surya namaskara postions

as chaturanga dandasana, up dog, down dog, Guruji

has always refered to these as chatvari, pancha and

shat positions (four, five and six). In other words to

claim that Lino figured this out first is to suggest

that everyone else was mentally obtuse until Lino came

along because he was the genuis that could count (where

all others had failed)!<br>Missy doesn't know wether

to laugh or cry, or just hop on a train to Shining

Skull's place and thwack him on the leg with a stick

(Iyengar style).<br>missy "oh, you mean sapta means seven"
