I am a self-taught, which I know is a "no-no" in some circles, but I

am fully dedicated to learning the primary series in its traditional

form... What resources can you recommend?... I particularly enjoyed

the Ghita Ashtanga site, which is now unfortunately closed...

I bought the book "Ashtanga Yoga The Practice Manual" by David

Swenson. It has the Primary Series and Intermediate Series. I think

he is very good at explaining the diffrent asanas and it is sprial

bound so you can use it as a reference during practice.

It is not a "no-no" for some obscure elitist reason; once you start

on the seated poses, your entire neuromuscular system gets

worked, and you really SHOULD have the guidance and support

of a qualified teacher. Standing poses are useful and safe to

attempt on your own.
