In other words, mostly for room and board during the course. But you didn't even have to take a rounding course to get them; they were also taught at TM centers on request. Took about 15 minutes, just as on the courses. The teacher would demonstrate, then hand you a sheet of paper with crude drawings of the asanas as a memory aid. There was also a videotape available for a few bucks at one point that taught the Sun Salute. And complete instructions both for the rounding asana/pranayama routine and the Sun Salute were given, with illustrations, in one of Chopra's books (the one that followed "Quantum Healing," as I recall). Robert is apparently unaware there were actual courses in asanas and pranayama as techniques in their own right, rather than as part of a round or one's morning routine (the Sun Salute was supposed to be performed after you'd done the sesame oil massage but before you took a shower). > Later advanced pranayama was charged for (IIRC this was termed "neuro- > respiratory integration").
