Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Why do you feel you need an instructor? Not to get off on a rant, but the focus on having an instructor at all times is a peculiarly American (and perhaps western) phenomenon. When I studied at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandirum (way back in 1989, before all the hoopla), we were taught a series, walked through it, then we all took notes in the form of stick figures with inhalation/exhalation arrows. We were expected to go home and practice on our own, with only our notes. Having a teacher is important for learning, but you only need yourself to practice. Believe it or not, asanas can also be done without a sticky mat. RH ashtanga yoga, Maureen Bolton <bolto11> wrote: > Mayu: > > > Unquestionably, John Scott's DVD is the best out > there.

And Scott's book is a must-have! But for pure viewing pleasure a great tape is one with Guruji leading some advanced students (including Richard Freeman, Tim Miller, Eddie Stern & Chuck Miller) thru primary series.
