[Kundalini Yoga] Re: streaming classes, choosing a set, yikes!

 

Guru Rattana has a couple of free lessons at her streaming video site, why don't you try them to see if your connection and computer are up to snuff? I understand being careful with how you spend money with a family.

I have dvds by quite a few different yogis and am taking teacher training now, and have great respect for Guru Rattana's approach to teaching. You will not be suffering sore knees, and you will learn a tremendous amount! Now, you will need to stop completely with the squats until your knees heal, and maybe then ease in with a small movement in that direction, gradually building up- lots of people only do partial squats in class. Really.

> I am at a crossroads. I have been working with Gurmukh's KY DVD and have done it 26 times, not straight in a row... 5 days a week. My knees are now in bad shape! It's the squatting. I have a strong body, legs,torso. I don't know what's up with my knees. It feels like there is fluid on them, and they ache even when I'm not doing yoga. Easy pose isn't so easy after about 5 minutes. :) So, despite advice to the contrary I tried the DVD one more time, and found the squatting to be painful this time. I have to change. I haven't found a modification for myself either. My nature makes me want to do it exactly how it is done on the DVD too, so not doing the squatting doesn't feel right to me if I do this DVD.
> So, I know if I had a teacher things would be better. My internet is not fast, but is DSL. I am afraid if I subscribe to Guru Rattana's video feed, my PC will get too bogged down loading video to get benefit from it. I can do most YouTube without a problem, and watching PBS online usually isn't an issue. HD is an issue and some players. Netflix online viewing is impossible. Would I have a problem with the Guru Rattana videos?
> Now, in the meantime. I have been doing the Maya Fiennes DVD off and on while trying to figure this all out. Physically it is not a challenge for the most part, but it really moves the kundalini like no other set I've done. I'm wondering if I should continue with this set next eventhough there isn't much of a challenge there because it moves the kundalini. Thoughts on choosing a set?
