People Who Viewed This Viewed

This is one of the closest things to an "official" book of Vinyasa yoga one is likely to find, with author Ramaswami compiling close to a thousand poses, the results of a lifetime tutelage under one of the key figures of yoga in this century, Sri T. Krishnamacharya. The focus of Vinyasa yoga is on the sequencing of postures with breathing exercises, so that each posture is linked to specific breath and counterbalancing movements. This is a beautiful way to approach yoga, the way one may bead a necklace, or arrange a garden. The chain of postures and breaths is meant to constantly evolve and change, starting as simply as needed and then moving gradually all the way into full awareness. Thus everyone from a novice to an advanced practitioner will be able to take this huge book to heart and grow old along with it.

  • Having studied for more than three decades with renowned yoga master T. Krishnamacharya, and taught for more than two decades, Ramaswami attempts to offer a more complete picture of the practices developed ages ago to heal the body, train the mind and cultivate inner peace. He calls much of Western yoga practice "blatantly aggressive" and altered to appeal to Western tastes, omitting such essential aspects as yoga philosophy, breathing techniques, correct sequencing, chanting and meditation. In his descriptions of more than 900 poses and variations, he guides students on ways to integrate these aspects. While Ramaswami says his book can be used by students of every level (the sequences are rated according to difficulty), some may feel intimidated by the photographs, which show highly advanced yogis in many positions that are rarely taught in the average group class. The author's approach is somewhat didactic, emphasizing the "correct" way to do the poses, without acknowledging differences in body type and structure. The book's format makes it more of a practice manual, and most likely readers without much background will need to read Ramaswami's Yoga for the Three Stages of Life to put the instruction into a larger context.
