David Swenson DVD or John Schott are both excellent. They are doing

their routine in slightly different ways (very slightly) you have to

very conservative to pay attention to that, but they are great. You

can order them online Davis from www.ashtange.net and John from

www.theyogashop.co.uk or his own webpage. You can also get Beryl

Bender Birch Power Yoga DVD www.power-yoga.com which actually is the

complete first series (if again you are not to conservative). I have

them all and, have great joy and inspiration from using them as

instructions and counters when I am away from my regular classes.

There slightly different approach gives a variation to the practice

and of course, it is always nice to practice under guidance from

masters, who have done the work (even though it is only verbal and

visually). I have learnt a lot from listening to the different verbal

advices and technical cues you get when practising with dvd/videos.

But it can never replace a real teacher only complement the practice

done under a teacher's guidance.

One last word of friendly advice, since they are doing the practice

in slightly different ways, do not bring your newly learned

variations to your regular class, some teachers can get a little

upset. Not because what you are doing is wrong, but because they have

the responsibility to teach their specific variation of the series

(again the variations are slightly different).'
