In celebration though here's a review I've been saving up of something rather charming. Anyone who's stuck with my blog over the years has probably figured out that I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Ashtanga for hate read, frustration and irritation , every now and again I tend to bang my head against it.
It was during one of these Claudia's own passion for the practice is infectious, it's on almost every page. Yet despite that passion there's also an openness that I respect immensely. As a blogger herself Claudia's come up against questions and criticisms regarding the practice both on her own blog and those on which she contributes through comments. She's aware of what makes people uncomfortable or perhaps suspicious at times and is always respectful in her response, she is constantly exploring the practice and trying to understand it a little more herself.
In the book that translates as respect for her readers. She doesn't just throw information about the practice at you, she invites you in, she doesn't avoid the difficult questions, she often struggles with them too. The book is personal, she's telling you why she chose to practice Ashtanga, that's pretty much the title of Chapter four. One of my favourite things about the book is an in-joke, I didn't get right a way.
The book's title relates to a blog post Claudia wrote a while back and it's the title of chapter three, on a hunch I took another look at the contents, page, yep, there are also twenty-one chapters. Chapter sixteen 19 suggestions to improve your yoga practice. Notice too that none of those chapters mention Ashtanga in the title.
Bestselling Series
Claudia practices Ashtanga but I would argue her book is relevant to any style of yoga in fact it might be said it's a book about taking more control of your life. A few ways to practice yoga when we're off the mat. This is not a practice manual, you wont find the ashtanga sequences laid out but If you're an Ashtangi then your going to want this book, it has, for example, one of the best guides around to making the leap and visit Mysore, India where the Ashtanga style began, command Central if you will.
An Ashtanga yoga guide to Mysore. Which talks about Accommodation, transportation, food, supermarkets, bookstores, sightseeing just about everything. Adventures of a beginner in Mysore.
21 Things to Know Before Starting an Ashtanga Yoga Practice by Claudia Azula Altucher
This is an hilarious account written by Claudia's husband relating his first experience of visiting being dragged along to Mysore to practice ashtanga for the first time. This was a guest post on Claudia's blog, here James gets a guest chapter. There's also a chapter on the Saturday, rest day practice, the oil bath. That said, in a couple of years your probably going to find several battered and well thumbed copies laying around your local shalas as well as in Mysore itself.
