To buy DVD dan@balihealer.com. This is a film made by McPetruk in 1938 showing and shows Iyengar demonstrating yoga. Here we see a young Iyengar (still alive, well, and doing yoga, BTW) doing advanced poses that constitute the advanced A & B astanga series. This is obviously well before Iyengar dropped the vinyasa aspect from his practice and rebranded it as "Iyengar Yoga", putting greater emphasis on alignment.

  • Utterly AMAZING !!!!!!!

  • my new role model

  • @DaddyVegas For fascia worries, stretch...grastrocnemius muscle (s l o w l y, with love). Advice, RELAX your body in EVERY posture, which is the key to being a tree. Dead weight begats strength while adding flexibility, keeps you from becoming sore, too. Balance, strength, flexibilty, perfect alignment...no need for strain, forget pain, does dude on vid look unrelaxed, hell naw. Oh yeah, chest (heart chakra) out, should the main focus, cuz if that is open the rest will follow. PEACE

  • @DaddyVegas Try having a look at Anatomy of Hatha Yoga, by Dr David Coulter. It's pretty heavy going with lots of anatomical and scientific language, but if you can deal with that then you may find your answers. Ultimately though, you will have to start slow. Yoga practice is no quick fix and "extensive yoga training" may be a matter of months or years. Good luck!

  • 12 fucking idiots..

  • @sarantakis you even know what is yoga? lol

  • @Moreofthesamez claro que é, sim ele é feliz porque tem auto controle, E isso é tudo.

  • @Moreofthesamez claro que é

  • @Moreofthesamez

    One could never know without knowing him personally.

    One can only perceive which is not knowing.

  • But is he happy?
