Nice to read something informed about yoga. I did Iyenegar quite a bit at one time but the current 'I did my 200 hours in Bali' scene has me running for the hills.

Lovely piece, Neil you may have just inspired me to return to Yoga again. In search of being ‘transformed both physically and in calmness and clarity.’ X

Thanks Neil! I don’t quite know how to fit it into my daily life but would love to do 40 minutes in the morning.

Hi Neil. Great thought about Ashtanga being a matrix for you to develop your practice. so knowing the sequence is only the first step. thanks for your thoughts

Loved reading this. I just started a limited yoga journey through youtube and I really enjoyed reading your perspective and experience. I admit I was a bit freaked out by Jois and the video, which I couldn't watch in its entirety.

Thank you! If you can find a good teacher who knows anatomy their suggestions can help enormously. But self-practice and experimentation is the best. Sorry about the Jois video. Difficult to imagine how he became a guru. I guess he had must have has in-person charisma.
