Guest guest Posted March 28, 2002 Report Share Posted March 28, 2002 Thanks. I will definitely check out that site. One question: someone e-mailed me and mentioned a yogi that has been "blessed" by someone to teach ashtanga yoga. I'm a little confused by this. I understand that yoga is a practice that affects other aspects of your life (much like the martial arts), but how is it related to "blessings" and religion? Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks! ashtangayoga, "yogaboi" <yogaboi> wrote: > Hi ) > > Iam so glad your first experence with yoga was so positive!

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Blessed simply means that Jois has given premission for an individuial to teach ashtanga yoga up to a certin point in the system (navasana or boat pose) this is not really a religious thing simply a term coind to mean that Jois has approved of someone to teach his teachings. Remember dont discredit a teacher simply because he or she is not "blessed" or approved by Jois -- listen to your own judgement when attempting to find a teacher:O) hope this has been helpful ashtangayoga, "heavnsgirl71" <HeavnsGirl@a...> wrote: > Thanks.
