Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Baron Baptiste is in the UK at the moment and I went to one of his workshops on Saturday. It was interesting to see how he varies ashtanga to create his 'power' yoga, and it was a good workout - he's a good showman and not too 'celebrity' ! But best of all, I now know what Margee means by the impact that 'holding' the poses in sun salutation creates. Not only did he get us to hold the up dog for several breaths, I found a 'new pose' which is 'high chaturanga' - basically the high position of a push up. He had us hold that for several breaths too. So for me, trying to build shoulder strength, it was excellent. He also gave away t-shirts at the end, instead of trying to charge for them, which I thought was commendable.
