Before I was a 'Reluctant Ashtangi', I practiced various forms of yoga (mostly plain old Hatha) for 12 years. For me, the right path was classical Hatha and some Iyengar yoga, then Anusara and now my current exploration of Ashtanga. The lesson I've learned is this: Do what you can.

I used to do the pushups too ; they do help with upper body strength. But i found it hard to maintain a steady breath so of late i have dropped them. Surya B becomes quite challenging if done with pushups..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
