Integral Hatha Yoga is wonderful. I took it privately here in Texas. It is what you would probably want to do before Ashtanga, because it introduces you to short chanting, breathing exercises, sun salutation, backbends, forward bends, shoulder stand, fish pose, and spinal twists.

I find that it was quite easy to study, not too much Academia...but I have practiced for 12 years. Im sure you have practiced for a while, so it would be easy to absorb the information!

Ashtanga is a much more intense version of Integral Hatha.

I highly recommend it. It was developed by Sri Swami Satchidananda, who brought the yoga movement to America.

Om!

Can you believe it! I applied for sivinanda course and the director said that as I was into raw food, that they do not cater for raw students due to the Ayurvedic philosophy! I felt so annoyed at this and flet like telling them to check out Gabriel Cousens Tree of Life! aaaaargh! But in my wisdom i know this is not meant to be the course i am meant to do and there is something better for me around the corner...(: It would be cool to finda yoga course embracing RAW!?

Oh I am sooo excited & nervous at the same time !
I have found the ideal yoga course! Which is going to cost an arm & a leg!!! So I am going to do some selling..my Iridology equipment....which is me saying to the universe I am changing direction! I am going to do the Radiant Living Yoga course in Bali which is run by raw food enthusiasts ! Including Gabriel Cousens..talk about finding the right course! Yippee...yadoo day ! (:
Has anyone done this or heard about it or know anyone that has done this ? (:
Thank you so much for everyone's advice and help on this post (:
