ashtanga yoga David Swenson tapes

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane,

I am new here, too. David Swenson's Primary Series

tape was my introduction to Ashtanga. I had just

bought Beryl Bender Birch's Power Yoga book, but

hadn't read it yet. My friend showed it to me and the

next time I went to his house we watched it again and

did the tape. I had been reading the Power Yoga book

and was doing Surya Namaskara and part of the

standing. When we got to the part of the series I

hadn't tried yet I got lost and we quit soon after

that. I ordered his book as soon as I knew it

existed. I got the Primary Series tape and his Short

Forms tape a little after that. I really love the

tapes and got a lot out of them, but I prefer

practicing with the book. I am certain I get some of

the vinyasa wrong and don't do all of them anyway,

just enough to keep the sweat going and to reset the

body before going on to a set of Asanas that have a

different theme. When I have time and the energy, I

do a vinyasa between each Asana. I still do the tape

with my friend and at home, but not every time I do

the series. I learn something new from it each time

I watch it. I have never had the opportunity to go to

a class. So, I think that with your experience in

classes you should be able to build a really good

practice around the tapes and the book you already

have.

 

I will be buying more tapes/DVDs and books in the near

future. I want to get Beryl Bender Birch's Power Yoga

DVD. Has anyone seen it? What do you thing about it?

Any other favorites?

Love and Blessing, Ed
