Stopping at navasana

08-21-2000, 10:45 AM

I talked o Sharath today in Boulder and asked him
whether I should stop when I can't do a pose perfectly
(so to speak) or if I should continue all the way
through primary series. He said to go to navasana and
then do finishing series if you can't do all the
preceding poses properly.

So I guess this is what
I'll be doing for quite some time, since wrapping in
Marichyisana d is a long way off.

Thought some of you
might be interested.

The workshop has been good.
Around a 100+ people in each class, with some very
talented yogis. Guruji is stern, but funny, always yelling
straight legs, straight legs, or chatauri when people
raise up in to up dog too soon.

He's much
smaller than I thought he would be, as is Sharath. Some
people have complained that they don't get adjusted
enough and that only the "stiffies" get help. I guess
this is the first time I feel lucky for being stiff,
since Sharath comes over and helps me two to four times
a class.

see ya

I am curious about whether there were any
"drop-ins" in colorado. I want to be in Guruji's presence
but i can't get away from work for the whole time
"required" in Carlsbad next week. does anyone have any
suggestions? I can make 9/3 and 9/4, is it possible to get in
for two days (without paying for the entire
week)?
thanks, ...j

Hi, yes they did allow drop-ins in Boulder. I was one of them.
