Workshop with Arjuna, I

Just returned from a weekend workshop with Arjuna. I'm totally knackered, every single part of my body is hurting *Au*. It was a second series workshop, I know I'm not at all ready for practicing second series but so were most of the workshop participants. Arjuna said the workshop is a playground where we can try some poses and play around with them but in our daily practice we should stick with primary.
Arjuna's opening of the workshop was just brilliant, I'm trying to reproduce it: Everything that makes up Ashtanga Yoga, everything Ashtanga Yoga has to offer is contained in the first ten breaths of the first series: Surya Namaskara A. For people who weren't able to figure this out Surya Namaskara B was developed. And for people who still don't get it the fundamental positions were created and so on ... and people who are practicing Intermediate really must be slow on the uptake. Then everybody laughed and immediatly Arjuna had managed to put everything in the right perspective. I found that great.
Ok, I have to eat something now, more workshop stories are following ...
