I did some classical yoga training from out of Australia, and my experience was the same: highly meditation focused and asana as a means to sustained meditation. There was a time when new books such as these would annoy the hell out of me: someone who modelled on top of a car and danced for a few years proposing to have a single thing to offer in Erynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733489285908640413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695025.post-40821394802921160502010-09-20T03:05:30.818-05:002010-09-20T03:05:30.818-05:00No one I've talked to in Australia really thin...No one I've talked to in Australia really thinks of yoga for weight loss.
