Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Hi Annie! I am 29 and have been practicing Ashtanga Yoga for about two years. I have never found anything that even compares to this activity. It is both frustrating and satisfying. I recently bought a few additional tapes to add to my hopme collection. I am hoping that I can learn more about Ashtanga from the rest of the group here. I know I have much to learn...and more flexibility to gain! It's TOUGH! <br><br>Are you familiar with Bryan Kest's tapes? and what do you think of them? I find his instruction to be very helpful, and I enjoy the accompanying music and his style.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 I have some web pages that may be useful for finding more info:<br><br><a href=http://www.ionet.net/~tslade/yoga.htm target=new>http://www.ionet.net/~tslade/yoga.htm</a><br><br>At the top of that page are links to my yoga videos page and yoga books page.<br><br>I have a copy of one of Bryan Kest's videos. I like the feel of the video, though it is a bit advanced for me. Also, he isn't really teaching Ashtanga, but his own "version" of it, which he calls Power Yoga (not to be confused with everyone else's various "power yogas"). Which is OK with me, but just good to know the difference. There are lots of videos on "pure" Ashtanga yoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Just looked at the site. All of this is good information to know. Yes...the kest tapes are tough! I bought tape #3 in the series first....which is actuially MUCH easier than #2. I was floored when I put in tape #2 and it went from sun salutations to (within a few, brief movements) 'put your head under and artound your left knee' .... Whew! Now my goal is to get through that tape. Looks like I should check out Freeman's tapes as well. Thanks for the info! <br><br>Franki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 No, I don't know Brian Kest. Who he? I have watched various tapes: Lino Miele, D. Swenson, and PJ himself. I read a lot of books too ... am currently moving into meditation, and have just 'discovered' Ayerveda .... it is fascinating.<br><br>Does Ashtanga make men cry? Every now and again it makes me cry, mainly from frustration. It did today. Is that something that only women experience? (several of my women friends have 'watery days' but none of the men of my aquintance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
