"Only Half Primary Needed For Samadhi"

Last weekend I was at a workshop with my teachers Bill and Lisa. I asked a question about "only" doing half primary, as opposed to doing several series. Are there any risks with doing so few asanas, and repeting the same day in and day out. What do you miss? Bill, who has been in Mysore a lot, and practiced with Pattabi Jois, answered that if you do any movement in the wrong way, you can injure yourself. But if you repeat the same movements, and do them in the right way, huge benefits will come.

I sometimes wonder if I will ever do second series. I wonder if I will ever be able to bind in Marichy C! I also ask myself why I would want to reach to that place? I have enough to work with in my practice as it is. What is it I want to attain with my practice, and what do I need to reach that place? I guess the answers to these questions change during the path. As my practice is now, I guess I will have to trust Gurujis quote: "Only Half Primary Needed For Samadhi".
