I just got an email from him. He said he heads to New Zealand tomorrow for holiday. USAID would indeed be an interesting move for him.

Will definitely let you guys know when I’m in DC next.

The first edition was just the primary series and second series, which was a bit more digestible. This works through primary through 4th series - crazy stuff and a bit daunting. I suppose the intent is a lifetime practice and it would take most lifetimes to get to 4th! Anyways, this explain each pose, and corresponding breaths and movements. It’s a “how to,” in terms of each pose.

You get a really good look into the history of the practice and a good portrait of Guruji and the lineage. It’s about 500 pages but it’s a quick read because of how it’s written.
