Yes. I recall it was 1600 or something. Taught by hatha yoga non-experts at the center off of flash cards. Having been away from the center for years, I went to an intro lecture on this course and others. The teacher, a prominent researcher actually, couldn't even remember the 8 limbs of yoga, kept confusing them, and having to refer to his flash cards and TMO charts. It was a real "talking head" performance (though this guy is competent in his field, AFAIK). I was not impressed and decline the "offer" aka arm twisting to take the course. On the other hand, in late 60s-mid 70s lots of stuff was without charge. I never paid for an advaced technique then. Even from M.
