Is this in Paris, London?
Wherever it is, the sound is a lot better than I remember.
Download it, turn it into an mp3 and your all set for your Friday Led home practice.
I might explore and engage in ashtanga archaeology the rest of the week but Friday Primary remains pretty sacred.
The Socks look very warm.
Hello Anthony! yes, you are correct, I am in that room- check out at 24:00 mins into the video, on the left hand side, I am videoing the class with my old video 8 camera. The retreat was held at 2000 in Calais, France, at Philip Mons's farm. it was July 25th (one day before Guruji's birthday) and freezing cold. we all bunked at farms around this one, hanging out at Philippe's farm during the day, trying to keep warm....The Shala was a converted Pigs shed, concrete floor, cold as hell. no heating, and in the morning the temp. was about 8-12 degrees C (46-54 F) . During the class the humidity that the Ujjaii breath created was condensing on the freezing floor in puddles. Guruji , 85 AT THE TIME was wearing thick high woollen socks the entire 2 classes. this is the 2nd class of the day. first one was at 06:00, this one started 08:00.I practiced at the 06:00 class' 28 people in each class. The guy in front (no shirt) is Wayne Krassner, and someone was videoing the class for him. once I return from travelling will try to find my video and send you.....BTW, we had a birthday celebration for Guruji the next day, I made a ton of my famous Hummus! and we sang to him "happy birthday" i all the languages in the room(about 10). this video was apparently downloaded from Wayne Krassner's website.
I'm trying to get hold of Wayne now to check he's happy for me to leave the post up but can't seem to find a current website, here's a link to his Youtube page though https://www.youtube.com/user/WBKAshtangaYoga/featured
he also has a couple of videos on Swami Bua who I posted on here
Swami Bua, contemporary of Krishnamacharya
Wayne also has a Led primary on iTunes
