Subject: (Dumb) Question about series


This is one of those stupid questions you never feel comfortable asking any instructors because you suspect you should already know the answer by now. Feel free to mock me.

When you move on to a new series, do you work on that one exclusively 6 times a week or is it interspersed with the previous ones? In other words, once you master all six series (I know, ha ha), do you stick to the 6th series or practice each once a week?

Hi there Thyago

Well, I'm not an expert on the subject and probably not in the position to make suggestions, but I reckon once I've mastered the Primary Series and start working on the Intermediate one, I'm going to attempt to incorporate elements of both into my practice. You don't want to lose what you've been working for so hard in the Primary Series so maybe alternate between the Series and if you feel like it, do bits of all Series in your practice. Balance is the key for everything in life, isn't it?

Best of luck with it!

Om Shanti

Aotearoa

This the way it was described to me. I have never been to mysore...
Traditional mysore you always do primary on Fridays no matter what series you are working on.

On other days you could be doing all 1st series and part of 2nd.
All 2nd series and part of 3rd, etc.

All 2nd series, etc
All 3rd series, etc

But Friday you do primary.

Primary 6 days a week.
Primary adding Second Series poses 5 days a week with Friday (6th day reserved for Primary alone).
Once all of Second is learned: Second Series Sunday -Thursday, Friday Primary.
When learning 3rd Series: Second Series only on Sunday, Monday-Thursday Second with Third poses added, Friday Primary.
Once all of 3rd is learned: Second Sunday, Monday-Thursday Third Series, Friday Primary.
When learning 4th series: Second Sunday, Third Monday, Tues-Thurs Third with Fourth series poses added, Friday Primary.
etc. etc.

Thanks, everyone. I'm even more amazed by the discipline and stamina required to practice Ashtanga as it was devised.
