Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Recently I looked at the asana list on the www.kpjayi.org <http://www.kpjayi.org/> website and noticed that Parvritta Parsvakonasana was not listed in the sequence of fundamental asanas. Does this mean that the pose is no longer included in the standing poses practice? I would appreciate hearing from anyone with knowledge of how this is being taught in Mysore at present.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Looks to me like these are the photos from Yoga mala. When that was written I belive Parvritta parsvakonasana was not in standing poses. It was added later and, to my knowledge, is present now. ashtangayoga [ashtangayoga ] On Behalf Of Joseph D'Ambrosio Monday, March 29, 2010 1:56 PM ashtangayoga ashtanga yoga Question re Parvritta Parsvakonasana Recently I looked at the asana list on the www.kpjayi.org <http://www.kpjayi.org/> website and noticed that Parvritta Parsvakonasana was not listed in the sequence of fundamental asanas.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thank you, Tom. By the same token, Urdhva Dhanurasana was not in Yoga Mala either, but was added later and is depicted on the website under " Method. " Same is true of Parvritta Trikonasana. I know all the main DVDs and books (except Yoga Mala) include the pose, and I have been practicing it that way as well. What I am trying to find out is whether Sharath has made a change to the sequence in the last 6 months or so. Since I do not have first hand knowledge of what is being done in Mysore right now, I decided to query this group. ________________________________ ashtangayoga [ashtangayoga ] On Behalf Of Tom Hunter Monday, March 29, 2010 7:42 PM ashtangayoga RE: ashtanga yoga Question re Parvritta Parsvakonasana Looks to me like these are the photos from Yoga mala.
