New post on the new blog
Reviewing all of Ramaswami's sequences while away on holiday this week so only giving myself the one day for ashtanga. Primary as usual today being Friday but ended up carrying on into 2nd series and doing all that as well. Strange after Vinyasa Krama all week, felt like yoga on crack this morning, or one of my speeded up videos. Sweated buckets too, the Jade yoga mat is NOT an Ashtanga mat. It absorbs sweat, not being closed cell like the Manduka, so you have to worry about drying it by the following morning and after a week your really going to want to wash it which might not be an option while your away.
Nice to do the Ashtanga though, best of all I got to jump in the hotel pool afterwards which I have to myself every morning.
So the main post is on the New 'Practicing Vinyasa Krama' blog as it it's been a VK week. Was wondering this morning if there are different blogging styles that match the different yoga styles. Most ashtanga blogs, but not all I hasten to add, are very asana practice focussed. Most posts tend to be about the mornings practice, the asana one's struggling with, tips and hits or plea's for help etc. Mine too of course which isn't a such a bad thing I guess, good to carry some of that asana focus over to Vinyasa Krama, there are some tricky postures in the different sequences, a lot of help with these in the ashtanga community,so some cross over is useful here. Are the posts on the Iyengar's blogs perfectly constructed? Is there a blogger gadget, an add on high powered spelling, grammar and style check? And what of the Jivamukti, Anusara and Bikrum blogs, what would they be like?
For some reason blogger is only allowing me to post using the HTML edit function and not the Compose edit,anyone found a way around that?

giving suggestions offblog...
ha ha ha, that would be the day, when we have templates for full and substantial blog posts for your Iyengars, Jivamuktis etc... We are so lucky in the sense that we are making history! somewhat...
One idea that came to me as I read your post is that VK is definitely a practice that is almost by definition inclusive of EVERYTHING ELSE, and asana does take the back seat. Of course there are the millions of poses, combinations and routines and all of them are important, but perhpas for this blog I would be more inclined to find Krishnamacharya, Ramaswami, and others on the lineage with stories that complement the work... that help us light the path to "being without other", or "perfect peace"
In any event, I also guess every blog needs time for its voice to come along... the opening posts are just invitations, it will come.
No idea about the html... but google is creating some troubles, i.e. no more amazon on the right... wierd, I find I have to go the old route for those. If you do find out about this issue would be nice to hear what it was
Enjoy the water
