Clifford Sweatte's 1985 Guruji Led 'Advanced A' in a Hawiian garage video

Stories tell that Guruji would put press into your abdomen to check you were engaging uddiyana bandha, here he is doing the same during padmasana

Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Advanced A Ashtanga class in a garage in LA (1989?)

Last week Clifford posted his video, cut into five segments, and it's been doing the rounds already, it's the same as that posted by Kristina's but watching it now the quality is clearly better, Derek's video was a copy of course. I speculated 1989? in the title, same as Clifford's Intermediate series video, Clifford in his comment below says it was shot in 1985 (around the same time as the Derek Ireland TV spot posted yesterday).

I just received a comment from Clifford, and look, there is perhaps another video floating around shot in San Francisco, anyone have a copy?

Anthony:

Almost certain this (the Advanced A that Kristina posted) was shot in 1985 and yes, this is the Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii garage I mentioned to you, hot stuff!. Guruji was on a two year cycle in those days between trips to the USA and the next Advanced A video is 1987 (www.pranaairways.com). 

He began traveling more that year, I remember a session in San Francisco being his only original student mixed with a large group of Iyengar students, wish I could locate that video! He also was in Santa Cruz and in Santa Barbara at Ganga White's and Tracey Rich's White Lotus Foundation that fall.

Thank you for sharing his teaching with so many,

Clifford Sweatte
