Update: Sorry something strange has happened to this blog post,
will repost it over the weekend.
One of the joys of Ramaswami's Teacher training course in 2010 was a week long module on Krishnamacharya. We read Yoga Makaranda and Yoga Rahasya line by line in the classroom with Ramaswami commenting throughout. In the mornings, in the practice room, we explored the asana sections. This exploration of Krishnamacharya's early writing is something I've continued to explore through posts on this blog and in my own practice, the translation of yogasanagalu (1941) has been part of that project.
This has gone hand in hand with my Ashtanga and Vinyasa Krama practice, to be honest I fail to see the distinctions between them that clearly anymore. I find a relatively fixed Ashtanga sequence useful for my needs but will modify when necessary, my breath tends to be slow, occasionally I'll explore longer stays and often take advantage of kumbhaka options. I include pranayama, pratyahara and meditation along with my asana practice.
With my workshop in Spain coming up next month (already booked up ) and another workshop in the pipeline I've been bringing together some of my posts on exploring Krishnamacharya's Ashtanga, a resource for my own use really.
Most of these posts reflect Krishnamacharya's early Mysore years, when he was teaching the Young Pattabhi Jois but are informed too, to some extent, by some of his latter writing and teaching.
Mostly it's based on Yoga Makaranda Parts I and II and Yogasanagalu but also with the 1938 film footage in mind.
I've uploaded it to my Google Docs page to make it freely available for personal study. This is the first version, so over time the plan is to rework/rearrange the material to make it all more coherent as well as a major edit to improve readability and a check that all the hyperlinks go where they should..
Here's the link, new, better versions added as I go.
UPDATE; NEW VERSION BELOW (better layout but the Nancy 1974 syllabus is scrambled)

To get an idea of some of the content have a look at my other blog, much of this comes from there, the rest scatter around this blog over the last year or two.

Below are the originals that I used as a source for most of the posts that make up the Resource book

I'm interested in knowing if the book that contains the life saving yoga practice has been published yet?
Thanks Jose, it's a beginning, I need to go through it and rearrange the material as well as give it a good edit, all I've done so far is grab all the blog posts and throw them together.

Wow! I've been along for the ride on these posts and they've been terrific, but wow, when you put it all together like that it's astonishing. There is nothing else like it out there. Well done, man!
Thank You Maya
This post has gone very strange for some reason, cutting off half the right side of the page, aware of it, hopefully Blogger will sort it out. Shouldn't effect the links.
