Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 The other day at the book store I was perusing the yoga books and noticed quite a few books on power yoga (Bender and others). Other than some modifications of the postures is there any difference compared to ashtanga? Anyone know where to practice ashtanga on Oahu Hawaii? thanks Rob ashtanga yoga [ashtangayoga] Friday, July 11, 2003 4:28 AM ashtanga yoga ashtanga yoga Digest Number 426 ashtanga yoga ------ There are 6 messages in this issue.

Seventh heaven is a great studio. Leah Nicole is fantastic and they have a couple teaching some mysore classesin the morning who I dont know very well but I have heard they are quite traditional and have done some serious time in mysore --- girlandsmalldog <girlandsmalldog wrote: > I'm sure there are a million places but I don't know > what they are. > I'm going to try 7th Heaven in Berkeley.

In SF you can look at these reviews and the list of studios with the respective ashtanga teachers listed: It's Yoga 848 Folsom Street Call for schedule: 415/543-1970 Drop-in: $10, Three months for $150, Introductory offer: $90 for 90 days of unlimited classes With a predominately younger crowd, It's Yoga is probably the hippest place to practice Ashtanga yoga. It's lofty, airy, smells faintly like incense and is very industrial-like with high ceilings, large windows and white brick walls. Wooden cubicles are available to store your personal belongings. The classes are 95 percent physical and serve well for a rigorous workout. It's Yoga offers photocopies of the postures used in their classes, which are perfect for those who are just beginning or for the more advanced who want to work on postures independently. The 4:30 classes are recommended; the late evening classes are very crowded Namasté Yoga Studio 50 Oak Street, #307 Call for schedule: 415/974-9391 Drop-in: $10 or $45 for five classes Namasté is a dimly lit, intimate studio with beautiful hardwood floors located above the International Center Health Club. The schedule offers daily Hatha classes in the Iyengar and Ashtanga styles. Students range in all ages and overall are not too New Agey or spiritually whipped--generally a pretty down-to-earth group. The Ashtanga classes are vigorous, while the Iyengar are more restorative with the use of various props, restful poses and deep relaxation. It's Yoga - Larry Schultz - downtown San Francisco, CA http://www.itsyoga.com/ Greenpath Yoga Studio - Clayton Horton - in the Marina - San Francisco, CA http://www.greenpathyoga.org/ SomaYoga -730 Florida Street, UNIT 23 @ between 19th and 20th San Francisco, CA http://www.somayoga.com/ Castro Yoga - in the Castro San Francisco, CA http://www.castroyoga.com/ S.F.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I am definitely not an expert, but you have to be careful with power yoga books. While Beryl Binder Birch is preaty accuarte, others are not. From what I understand, Beryl Binder Birch did learn under Jois but coined the term "power yoga" to give it a more American connatation. A lot of people have jumped on the band wagon, but have changed the sequence considerably. For instance, I was in the library the other day and saw a book by Baron Baptiste and he called his stuff power yoga, but the sequence was way different.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 BBB did not learn from Pattabhi Jois. She is basically a fraud.
