Ashtanga Rest day/Vinyasa Krama Saturday plus Swenson/Freeman Studio talk

Delicious Vinyasa Krama practice this morning.

My evening VK asana practice has been put on hold while I work on the tictac so especially nice this morning. Nice slow tadasana sequence, long paschi, long long inversions.

Best of all pranayama just seems to marry better with the slower Vinyasa Krama practice. I can see why some Ashtangi's do their pranayama before the asana. During the week I finish Primary lay down in savasana listening to Ramaswami chant for ten minutes then change into something dry for pranayama and Japa. This morning I didn't have to worry about being all hot and sweaty could just move straight into it.

Talking of Pranayama, nice 'studio talk' from Richard Freeman and David Swenson on Richard's site. I was listening to it last night, they move onto talking about Pranayama about twenty minutes in (That's as far as I've got so far).
