John Scott has become my favourite teacher. He offers so much philosophical and practical insight. Thanks for sharing these and the full classes. So helpful.
Thank you very much for this. I love John's explanation of the metaphors of the asanas. He is so clear in describing complex energetic concepts. There are so many points to think over... what a wonderful interview.
Thank you for sharing! Very insightful for me as a beginner to Ashtanga Yoga. Will definitely re-visit at a later point... (and consult some material to understand more of it). Meanwhile I go back to practice - and focus on the vinyasa count. PS: superb design on John's shirt - now I finally know, where it comes from
Really? Through this conversation all you noticed was the physical appearance? You didn't learn anything if John's appearance was what kept your attention.
As a guru or trainer (educator ) Was that his offering to God each breath and movement he counted as his offering as thank you to God for my life thank you God for giving me this chance we repay you with happiness in our body and thoughs as i help Them breath and move together as a prayer
That count is the Holy Grail of the ASHTANGA yoga or any form of hatha, that combination with the count as a mantra plus the movement and breath, GOOD BYE… ✨
I have been following John Scott for many years , when he was still in the Uk teaching very small groups with he's wife... I have a great respect and always thought that he was the one to bring a good understanding of Ashtanga to Europe with the softness and way of thinking of a British man. What happened to him? Since he moved to New Zealand, not the same man anymore. I believe that he is very knowledgeable, but has managed to take out the fun and freedom of Ashtanga with too many details. Not sure if I make my point clear, as this is not an attack to a great teacher but a true questioning and verbalising of thoughts which I would love to hear another's opinion about. Namaste. S
I have been following John Scott for many years - he appears to be deteriorating - and that snake thing on his chin can only be distracting for him and others - i guess he likes to fiddle with it
Should have kept the camera on the interviewer. John Scott looks like he has some kind a wasting condition and, I agree with the comment below, that thing hanging off his chin is repulsive.
John, we appreciate your work, but the beard braid distracts from your ability to share your expertise. If you want people to focus on what you’re saying, you should not wear that beard.
So happy to see John Scott. He opened the way to Ashtanga for me and I'm so grateful for that.
Wonderful rare insights, brilliant interview, thank you so much!

That's how you get from Bakasana to handstand! ... become a bird.
Everything changed when the yoga nation attackef
Thank so much for this interview! Just a comment Stu it's kind of annoying that you say "yeah" all the time
John Scott does not appear very Zen-like. Also, the braided beard with the little beads is causing my gag reflex to kick in.
he has a kind of blankness in his eye

It's not detriorating, it's called aging. You will also go through that one of these days. He looks good and vibrant for his age
