Guest guest Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Doug swenson (not David) told me that many years ago when he was practicting intensely as a young man they did full vinyasa between poses - even working up to doing a handstand in each vinyasa. But there are other differences besides full vinyasa vs half vinyasa. David swenson adds trivikramasana into uttihita hasta padangusthasanna. David doesn't take his chin towards his shin in uttihita hasta padangusthasanna. David doesn't show a jump into handstand with thighs near the chest after utkatasan. This is sometimes approximated with bakasana. David doesn't mention sanskrit counting for each vinyasa step. (each pose has a vinyasa sequence) Not that any of this really makes that much difference but it's interesting to note. And there are there enough differencs that if you are used to Swenson's approach as I started out and go to a studio where they do the more contemporary pattabhi approach it can be a tiny, little bit suprising. andrew > > Chris Smith [jivamuktiguy] > Sunday, April 13, 2003 6:07 PM > ashtanga yoga > RE: ashtanga yoga David Swenson or John Scott?? > > > John Scott teaches or outlines the full vinyasa in his > book....HOWEVER people in mysore dont really do fill vinyasa > they do the half vinyasa between every thing.........

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Well all of you, I had my first ashtanga class with Russell Kai Yamamoto. It was really good, I have not exercises in years. I went at it for 1/2 an hour. I did the sun salutation. It was individualize coaching-I don't know if it was 'vinyasa or 'mysore' but I am happy and believe that if I pushed harder, in would have hurt myself. herve - Chris Smith ashtanga yoga Monday, April 14, 2003 1:27 PM Re: ashtanga yoga David Swenson or John Scott??

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Leo, Who says so? This is generally not true. The practice is taught half vinyasa and it is my opinion and understanding that no qualified Ashtanga teacher would recommend this. Then again, if you are doing this for "excercise" do whatever you want it really doesn't make much difference, but then again you will be missing the point and might as well be doing power yoga or something.

I understand that YOGA will pervade and influence my life. I embrace the concept. BUT I am also human and I also want to LOOK good. I hope that after a few years of practice and I will practice for the rest of my life. That I get the HARD, FLUID, and FLEXIBLE body of a dancer. I understand that this is repulsive to some of you purist but, I am human. I want health , if not I would have taken 'free' weights, but I also want a 'great' looking body.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Well......... Vinyasa will allow you to get a full workout where as Mysore you will only be able to go as far as you can go before your teacher stops you. This may occur after the sun sal. or it may occur during the end of the series. If you attened a studio where you can do the whole series and modify the postures and then go on -- which is not the "pure" was or the Jois approved way then there will be no difference between vinyasa and mysore. BUT if your teacher teaches you like Jois and only allows you to go as far as your able then mysore will not give you a full workout. These are some good power yoga websites where you can by yoga tapes and CDs for a work out www.poweryoga.comhttp://www.baronbaptiste.com/ I hope this answers your question.....if you want an amazing work out but still want to do pure ashtanga try this Mornings do a Mysore practice at your home or studioEvenings do a power yoga or vinyasa yoga class Hope this helpsMay you find what your looking for "jean-marie herve michel, jr" <abulafia3000 wrote:First, I want to apologize to all the purist.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 My question, since the beginning, was not only to know if full vinyasa was the way to go, but also, which method should I follow? I don´t want to do something just beacause it is more challenging fisically. I simply want to do things the purest way! I notice differences between David Swenson and John Scott other than the full Vinyasa. I started practicing with David Swenson´s practice manual and then I switched to John Scott´s DVD and got quite confused. Anyway now I am following just the DVD (seems a little more complex). Should this be the purest way to go?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 regarding whether half or full vinyasa will turn you into a statue of david more quickly.... it's not that scientific. if you practice hard, every day it probably doesn't matter that much whether you do full or half. i personally enjoy doing full so i do full. my experience is that it's the regularity of practice much more than what you do in each practice which makes ashtanga yoga so intense. so do what you enjoy so that you do it more often. and then enjoy what comes andrew jean-marie herve michel, jr [abulafia3000] Monday, April 14, 2003 7:43 PM ashtanga yoga Re: ashtanga yoga David Swenson or John Scott?? First, I want to apologize to all the purist. I am only human. I am more interested in results than on theory. I don't know about you, but I am rebuilding myself, mentally, spiritually and physically after a long sedentary period. I want to do that gradually. I understand that YOGA will pervade and influence my life. I embrace the concept. BUT I am also human and I also want to LOOK good. I hope that after a few years of practice and I will practice for the rest of my life. That I get the HARD, FLUID, and FLEXIBLE body of a dancer. I understand that this is repulsive to some of you purist but, I am human. I want health , if not I would have taken 'free' weights, but I also want a 'great' looking body. I want to be attractive to the opposite sex. The very fact that I want to build myself gradually from the inside out says a lot. So tell me what is more effective, is it 'vinyasa' or mysore herve - ashtanga yoga Monday, April 14, 2003 7:29 PM Re: ashtanga yoga David Swenson or John Scott?? Leo, Who says so? This is generally not true. The practice is taught half vinyasa and it is my opinion and understanding that no qualified Ashtanga teacher would recommend this. Then again, if you are doing this for "excercise" do whatever you want it really doesn't make much difference, but then again you will be missing the point and might as well be doing power yoga or something.
