G'day from Hamilton in New Zealand! <br><br>I go

to a group of fellow unqualified astanga yogis twice

weekly. We all do qualified Iyengar once a week, too.

It's only a small city, so we get by from one

anothers' learning. 'Nuff respect to Godfrey Devereaux's

informative, lucid books, and Lino Miele's is invaluable for

our more advanced practice. Anyhow, if anyone wishes

to impart their knowledge to us, and is passing

through, be sure to contact me at <br>adampope

and we can arrange a rendezvous.<br><br>I do have a

number of conundrums:<br><br>1) For up to 5 days after

practice, my muscles (in particular my quadriceps and

hamstrings) are kinda sore. I would find it virtually

impossible to practice more than two to three times a week

because of this. Perhaps it's because I push myself too

hard? Should I try less? I've been doing practice for a

year now, couldn't touch my toes to begin with, but

can do all four paschimottanasana's now, so it can't

be too bad. I'm just slightly flabbergasted when I

read about people doing their practice 5 or 6 times a

week.<br>Anyone care to enlighten me?<br><br>2) I was adjusted

into bound Marichyasana D last week in Sydney, which

felt great, but now my ankles feel like they're

twisted in some angles. Is this similar to PKJ's standing

on someones legs in Baddha Konansana and saying "In

future, no problem in pose, but problem walking for

awhile"? Should I hold off on this asana until my ankles

are better? Or feel the pain and muck on

through?<br><br>I'm impressed with the quality of the group

discussions, and look forward to a continuing

repartee!<br><br>Toodles.

About the sorness thing, as funny as it may sound

to you now, the more regularly you practice the less

sore you'll be. I find if i'm practicing 4-5 times a

week sorness is much less that if only twice a week.

And most people i've talked to seem to share this

opinion. Have you seen Lino's new video? Very

inspirational, the only one i've seen with full Vinyasa.

Woops, pressed the wrong button<br>OK its Astanga

Yoga<br> Primary Series<br> Full Vinyasa<br> with Lino

Miele<br><br>I got it at the Astanga Yoga School in Helsinki

(www.astanga.fi) I suppose you can try to get it direct from Lino

in Italy, find his address at the above URL. The

video complemets the 3rd edition of his book Astanga

Yoga and puts great emphisis on the breath, bandahs,

and drishtis.<br><br>Full Vinyasa is where one

returns begins and ends each asana with samasthitih.
