I wanted to separate the old Ashtanga videos out from the previous post on Ashtanga history so I can link to them separately from the new Ashtanga History page at the top of the blog, perhaps give the videos a page of their own at the top as well.
Part of a project to improve the availability of resources that have become buried away over the years of blogging.
A quick introduction to each the videos for now but will hunt around for the info I have scattered here and there about the particular videos; who's in them, how they came about etc. feel free to add any extra info in comments and I'll add them to the videos.
Looking forward to any other suggestions and links for old videos to include.
Blogger has a tendency to drop videos and it can take a few attempts to keep all the Videos intact, do come back later if you see a description without the video.

Update for anyone interested on the my recent backbend saga
Has still been hurting, pain dropped around from the lower back down through the abdomen and into the left testicle.
Finally went to the GP and he's convinced it's Kidney Stones AGAIN
Going for a screening sometime next week.
Explains perhaps why the trigger point approach wasn't working
Should have known of course I thought the pain was similar but not as bad (so far0 as I've experienced in the past.
I wonder if the asana practice is good for encouraging Kidney stones to be on their way.
So bad news kidney stones
Good news I can practice I should be fine by Manju's TT in five weeks.
Hi Grimmly :-)

Hi Anthony, maybe I already told you. I want to share with you a experience:
in my first year of practicing yoga in 1998, I can say that I make myself a kidney stone atack (as it called in spain, I dont know in english) doing a "difficult" movement turning my body between two cars parked in order to get into my car, that produced a strong inner massage or just movement to all my abdominal content. few minutes after I felt a strong pain in my back (kidney I think) when I was drinving but after a while breathing and focus it desapear. One and two days after, the pain came back stronger, until I couldnt resisted it, so I went to the hospital and that time I realized It was kindney stone. At that moment a take in consideration that this pain was the same as the pain in the car two days ago, so for that reason I can say what was the cause. A strong contraction on the kidney is thought one reason to make stone reale from the walls of the kidney conducts.
Many analgesycs during one day in hospital and then come back at home. At home 10 days of terrible pain, almost everymovement was painful, walk, sitting on chair, lying on bed... following the doctor recomendations: drink much water and see if the stone goes out. After 10 days doing nothing at all, just drink and rest and feelling pain, not enjoy at all, on that time I was very active with physical and sports... so I was getting boring, suffering and nothing was getting better.
In that moment of desperation on my bed I thought maybe yoga (the little I could do I thought couldn´t be bad) could help (in that period I only know sivananda: asanas, pranayama, meditation and savasana). I could move myselt very slow in order to not experience any pain, after a few asanas I could breath deeper, and after 20-30 minutes I begun to sweat, my focus was very powerful. After that moment I didnt remember I was suffering 30 minutes ago. So I finish my practice, as any other day, I mean with the same confortable sensation. I could feel ardha matsyendransana very sensitive to my back and kidney pain, I can´t say how long I was in every asana, or how many breaths or how long every breath, the only thing I can say is that all of this information was coming from my own body sensations, and my breath was very deep and focus, and movement very slow and carefully. When the practice finish I went to the bathroom and the orine was dark brown almost black (10 days without color, very hydrated), I could find a little stone (made by pieces of salt that I broke with my fingers) maybe were more and bigger stone, but I didnt expect any change on my orina that I didnt care about it on tha very moment. That was the last chapter of my kidney stone, and this is the most rare experience on yoga. So I can say yoga can be helful but we need to be very careful and conscience about what we use and how we use.
I hope you can find your solution, I know you will.
Hi Gabor, hope your having a good birthday.
YES, Terry Slade's list of links, excellent site.
I had a link to his site on the side of my blog for the longest time, seem to have lost it when I updated the design of my page. Always a good reminder to visit , had forgotten how vast his list of links is ( he even mentions my blog at one point which was a nice surprise). I've added a link to his videos page on the post and a link to his full site on my side bar. Thanks again for the reminder.
HI Óscar, yes I remember you telling me your Kidney stones story but good to hear it again and to share with others. I think it was the same with me, probably Marichi D or the dwi pada sirsasana( legs behind head) entry into Supta Kurmasana that as you suggest dislodged the stone. This has to be good right, to dislodge it while it's smaller rather than allowing it to continue growing. This time the pain was bad but not as horrific as I've had kidney pain in the past, think that's why I suspected it was muscular.
The more I think about it the more I agree with the doctor that that's what it is but will have to wait until the scans next week to have it confirmed.
But I practiced this morning for the first time in almost a week, painful here and there so I kept it short, light and backed off just in case it is still muscular or a herniated disc or something. As soon as the Kidney stones are confirmed I'll practice again, I think it helped last time in moving the stone along.Thanks for taking the time to write out your experience.
Sharath is amazing in that demo...makes me feel all kinds of hopeless to see these amazing people...(Imaan)
:-)
