Sri T. Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) was the most influential figure
in the last 100 years in the field of yoga. Many of today's
best-known yoga teachers-including his brother-in-law B. K. S.
Iyengar, his son T. K. V. Desikachar, and Pattabhi Jois, founder of
Ashtanga yoga-studied with him and modeled their own yoga styles
after his practice and teaching. Yet, despite his renowned status,
Krishnamacharya's wisdom has never before been made completely
available, just as he taught it.
Now, in The Complete Book of
Vinyasa Yoga, Srivatsa Ramaswami-Krishnamacharya's longest-standing
student outside his own family-presents his master's teachings of
yogasanas in unprecedented detail. Drawing upon his 33 years of
direct study, beginning in 1955 and continuing nearly until his
teacher's death, Ramaswami presents more than nine hundred poses
and variations in logically structured sequences, precisely
describing Krishnamacharya's complete Vinyasakrama system. Along
with every movement of each yoga posture, he covers the proper
breathing techniques for each pose-something no other book also
derived from Krishnamacharya's teaching does.
Nearly 1,000
full-color photographs are featured in this authoritative landmark
presentation of the study practiced by the "grandfather of modern
yoga."
