mastering poses

[Guest guest]

Hi..I have been doing ashtanga for less than a year now, and had a

few questions. I started out by taking classes and now I do it at

home following several books. I see people saying they are almost

through the primary series, etc. My question is, do I have to master

one series before I move on to the next, or can I do my best (which

is not getting into full poses on many many poses) at each pose and

get through as much as I can of the whole practice, regardless of

how well I do at it (and just keep plugging along). This is what I

have been doing, but I wasn't sure if I was "supposed" to master one

part before moving on. Thanks, and any advice for at-home practice

is welcome!!! Jami
