David Swenson on Modification at Ashtanga Yoga Confluence 2016 + Full Primary Also 'How it all began' from Asia Yoga Conference 2015


David in laugh a minute form (and some) at the confluence this year

Thank you to Reid Robison for sharing these.


Also full Primary

And this is excellent from Ashtanga Yoga Hong Kong 
( supposedly, David lived in Hong Kong in the 80s)

David Swenson "Life, Love & Living with Purpose" at the Asia Yoga Conference, 14th of June, 2015



I pretty much started with David Swenson's books and DVDs and would still argue that his Ashtanga manual is the only Ashtanga book you need for the first couple of years...., then pick up Pattabhi Jois' Yoga Mala when you're ready and a couple of years later perhaps, Krishnamacharya's Yoga Makaranda and take a look at the Yoga Reading list page at the top of the blog

In the beginning, I practiced David's Ashtanga Short Forms (at the back of his book ) for six months to a year, until I picked up Sharath's speedy Primary and was able to hurtle through the series in an hour. Interestingly perhaps, nine years later,  I'm back to a short form
Proficient Primary Project. #proficientprimaryproject (ongoing)


David has a new DVD and my dear friend Maya over at Mayaland has put up an excellent (as ever) review.
