Someone told me recently that they were a regular Ashtanga yoga practioner, and they had a daily primary series practise.

Swami G Mysore , originally uploaded by yogamama.co.uk . Swami G is to be found living in a cave in Charmundi hills Mysore India. He has lived in the cave for 17 years-A wonderful gentle wise man. When I asked him if I could take a photograph of him-he agreed and then asked me if he could take one of me too-I roared with laughter when he pulled out an iphone ( or similar)...the modern day swami :-)
