Godfrey actually has 4 books on yoga so far.

Elements of Yoga, Dynamic Yoga, 15-Minute Yoga, and Hatha

Yoga - Breath by Breath. In my opinion Dynamic Yoga is

a very good book for anyone really studying

Ashtanga Yoga. All of his books are good. Confounding?

Maybe, sometimes. Stultifying? I had to look that one

up, doesn't seem like a very nice word. The 15-Minute

Yoga book has lots of clearly presented practical

advice for all students of hatha yoga. He also has a

video called Dynamic Yoga, which is good for anyone

trying to work their way towards being able to do

primary series. He has more videos on the way, according

to his

website:<br><a href=http://www.windfireyoga.com

target=new>http://www.windfireyoga.com</a><br>Also, he is working on another

website where he

translates Patanjali's yoga

sutras:<br><a href=http://www.yogadarshana.com

target=new>http://www.yogadarshana.com</a><br>I like Godfrey alot and consider

him to be one

heavy duty yogi (even though he is not an "Ashtanga

purist"). My favorite posts of his to this forum are these:

#537, #538, #539, #536.<br><br>Good to see some

interesting discussion here recently. I've been lazy about

posting, but I always read the forum, even when its almost

unbearable. How can things be less crazy here? More

participation, more discussion, don't be afraid to post, ask

questions, make comments. The more traffic there is, the

more the madness can be drowned out (maybe).

<br>________<br><br>Godfrey's no doubt a nice guy with an impressive practice.

I just wish he spent as much time with his editor

as he does with his photographer and graphic

designer.<br><br>Here's a quote from Dynamic Yoga. Shrunk and White

devotees, BEWARE!<br><br>(from Dynamic Yoga by Godfrey

Devereux)<br><br>"Yoga is an ocean fed by many rivers, each one fed

by<br>many, many streams. The ocean is the ocean, and

once<br>there the traces of the rivers that lead to

it<br>dissolve. The rivers that lead to the ocean of

yoga<br>differ in their course, but share their

destination.<br>It is only when still in the flow of the river

that<br>these differences have any significance. Each of

these<br>rivers is fed by many streams and rivulets." - Page

4.<br><br>Ouch!<br><br>Cheers,<br>DMCG<br><br>PS there is a new forum at EZ

board where people can

post reviews of books and videos.
