Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 if you have been sedentary for some time, i would NOT recommend full vinyasa even more. and again it is not the current method taught. if you are here on the ashtanga board and want to know the corrrect ashtanga method, people will tell you. if you want to do sun salutations and pump up, you might want power yoga or weight lifting. yoga is not about being pure or not. yoga is yoga and the pure physical side has its value, but you can not ignore the other aspects of mind and spirit. they are there whether you want to acknowledge them or not. ashtanga yoga, "jean-marie herve michel, jr" < abulafia3000@o...> wrote: > Sure it does.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I am not denying the spiritual side of YOGA. I am rebuilding myself Physically and spiritually GRADUALLY. I would have lifted weights if I wanted the easy ay. However I thank you for taking the time to respond. herve - backbayyoga ashtanga yoga Tuesday, April 15, 2003 6:03 PM ashtanga yoga Re: David Swenson or John Scott?? if you have been sedentary for some time, i would NOT recommend full vinyasa even more. and again it is not the current method taught. if you are here on the ashtanga board and want to know the corrrect ashtanga method, people will tell you. if you want to do sun salutations and pump up, you might want power yoga or weight lifting. yoga is not about being pure or not. yoga is yoga and the pure physical side has its value, but you can not ignore the other aspects of mind and spirit. they are there whether you want to acknowledge them or not. ashtanga yoga, "jean-marie herve michel, jr" < abulafia3000@o...> wrote: > Sure it does.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I am a disciple of Russell and will study with him for a long time. I am also part of a 'community' and I ask my fellow travelers questions. I seek information from all sources and that does not take away from my respect and regard from my Yoga teacher. Many different perspective helps because no one has perfect knowledge. Sincerely, h - funkybadlady ashtanga yoga Tuesday, April 15, 2003 8:04 PM ashtanga yoga Re: David Swenson or John Scott?? You know, Herve, if you have made it far enough to take a class with Russell Kai, then why don't you ask him.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 why not try both methods and do what you enjoy doing more? Honestly just ask yourself what feels right... But just for the record neither John Scott nor David Swenson actually teach the full vinyasa on a day to day practice. Ashtanga with half vinyasa will give most people a terrific workout, if that's what they are looking for, it will indeed give them much more... >backbayyoga <no_reply> >ashtanga yoga >ashtanga yoga >ashtanga yoga Re: David Swenson or John Scott?? >Tue, 15 Apr 2003 23:03:56 -0000 > >if you have been sedentary for some time, i would NOT recommend full >vinyasa even more. and again it is not the current method taught. if you >are >here on the ashtanga board and want to know the corrrect ashtanga method, >people will tell you. if you want to do sun salutations and pump up, you >might >want power yoga or weight lifting. yoga is not about being pure or not. >yoga is >yoga and the pure physical side has its value, but you can not ignore the >other aspects of mind and spirit. they are there whether you want to >acknowledge them or not. > > >ashtanga yoga, "jean-marie herve michel, jr" < >abulafia3000@o...> wrote: > > Sure it does.
