Dmitry has just released the full led primary on Youtube


******

This morning (4am my time) I managed to practice Sharath's Led Primary along with  Ashtanga Yoga School Moscow's Live Stream.

see this post for more about the school

The stream is still up and running by the way and on a continuous loop, starts as soon as you click the link below, stutters a bit but the sound is fine (there is a little sliding sound button on the bottom left of the screen).

I just asked Dmitry how long they are going to keep the stream up..


  • Anthony Grim Hall

    Thanks again for putting up the stream this morning Dmitry, was fun. How long will you keep it up on that link? Friend was asking.
  • Baryshnikov Dmitry

    My pleasure, Anthony. I think I'll keep it for a few weeks. Today or tomorrow I'll upload camera video, which is of better quality.
  • Anthony Grim Hall

    That's great will pass it along, the better video quality will be nice too. Do you know how many we're practicing this morning, looked like only an inch between mats.
  • Baryshnikov Dmitry

    Not as much as in US, but almost 150 people.
    And roughly the same number was watching live.

The plan was to stream it through my ipad upstairs in the practice room. 


Unfortunately the ipad wouldn't pick up the stream, had to shift some furniture around downstairs during the first couple of Sury's and squeeze my mat in between the sofa and table tostream it through the mac instead.


Bit cramped, banged my head on the table twice in upward dog and chakrasana wasn't possible but otherwise it worked out fine and perhaps gave more of a feel of practicing in the Moscow shala with the mats so close together.
.

This was my third full Primary this month ( on account of the kidney Stone saga), Sharath's pace too and it went fine, enjoyed it. Perhaps something to do with practising with others (sort of), helped carry me through.

Actually Sharath's count seemed a little slower than usual (by usual I mean his DVD's CD's and the stream from Jois yoga a couple of years ago), still faster than I tend to practice but as with following along to Manju's DVD I just take three slow breaths instead of the five counted

Thank you to Ashtanga yoga School Moscow for setting this up and to Sharath for signing off on it.

I took a couple of  screenshots









Thank you to the Ashtanga in black, the middle row five up from the bottom (in the picture above) for having such a composed and chilled utpluthi, inspired me to see out Sharath's slow count.

This is amazing. Sounds like a strength-receiving practice too.

Hi Angela. Just added an update, Dmitry is switching the stream to better quality video over the next day or two. Yes, was surprised how well it went, felt like I could have done it all again (much cooler downstairs and an hour earlier too which helps).
