<<original thinking should be encouraged,

yes?>><br>why the very idea-- heretic!! blasphemer!! what next?

the sun does not circle the earth? humans evolved

from protozoa?? it's okay to substitute for kurmasana?

(boy, i hope so, i hate that one). original thinking

will get you one place and one place only--the top of

the LIST!!!!<br>; )

I've just started doing ashtanga fairly recently,

but I did Iyengar-style yoga for a very long time. I

appreciated your comments on changing the sequence of the

asanas. My thought is that if you decide to practice a

particular style of yoga (and I don't think that Ashtanga is

the only one - quelle sacrilige!!!) you should stick

to that lineage and tradition. I still have a daily

Iyengar practice and I think that it helps me with the

Ashtanga. I also pull asanas that are more difficult for me

out of the Primary series and work on them

individually. But when I do the Primary series I try to do only

the Primary series and adhere to it as strictly as I

can.
