Iyengar better for beginners?

[Guest guest]

Hello friends all over!<br>X-mas is coming. Is

there someone in our net who speaks german and want to

mail with me, M/38. I practice ashtanga for nearly two

years. My wife one year, but she has a neck pain for two

months that don't go away, althoug she is doing every

day the standing postures. May be the chatarunga-pose

ist not good for a beginners neck? Now we are

discussing about the problem if iyengar may be better for

beginners (the book from Gita Iengar, the daughter of Mr.

Iengar). Any suggestions?<br>Why not practicing one day

ashtanga and the other iyengar? To compinbe these both -

and one get a new yoga stile like

"Super-doble-power-Yoga"?<br>All the best, Lubosch

It may be an idea to check out a book called

Dynamic Yoga by Godfrey Devereux.It has an adaptation of

the sun salutation called sukhasuryanamaskar that

keeps the neck in a more neutral position.This might

help.
