It uses energy adn thats good for where I am in life. I will check out the book and see if thats what I do. Thanks for the idea.

Even before the book came out. It really cooks the weight off. And you don't have to use a heavy weight to do this! I started with a 2 lbs., in each hand. I'm currently up to 25 lbs. I also mix the asanas with regular free weight training as well and palates for men: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Pilates-Men-Performance/dp/0060820772 Now, I'm totally addicted and the results are dramatic! :D Across whatever distance, I send my love, Baba Mike Tue, 12 Feb 2008 20:08:42 GMT http://allyoga.tribe.net/thread/4ce50826-3bcc-4a29-a6cf-d25910f13a31#188e4b5a-30f5-49dd-91cc-5a6c590f8612 $item.owner.firstName 2008-02-12T20:08:42Z http://allyoga.tribe.net/thread/4ce50826-3bcc-4a29-a6cf-d25910f13a31#b951a193-739b-41c8-a6d9-dd872f01a7af Thanks!

I have this book coming from amazons new&used. I'll let you know how it goes.

There's already so much going on to be aware of. Throwing weights in on top that makes Yoga seem counter productive to people who Asana has not yet become like second nature to. That being said, it may be wonderful for seasoned Yogi's to try for strength!
