My Krishnamacharya's Original Ashtanga Yoga Book is based on the tamil edition translation Yoga Makaranda by Sri T. Krishnamacharya (Written in Kannada)
Tamil Translation by Sri C.M.V. Krishnamacharya (with the assistance of Sri S. Ranganathadesikacharya)
Kannada Edition 1934 Madurai C.M.V. Press Tamil Edition
Given the gratitude i feel and respect I have for the integrity of the original translators of Yoga Makaranda, should they make the request, I would be more than happy to remove the print edition if they were to feel it is not beneficial, as well as discuss removing the free pdf edition.
It is not related to the more recent publication See Letter.
The book is an attempt to make Krishnamacharya's approach to asana presented in the book more accessible (especially to the Jois Ashtanga Vinyasa community) but NEVER intended as a substitute for the original.
The book came about in response to the need to bring my notes together for a short series of workshops on Krishnamacharya where I stripped Krishnamacharya's asana instruction down to the bear minimum for pedagogic purposes. I was asked to make the notes available as well as a later print edition with clear pictorial representation of the vinyasas in the manner in which we are familiar in Ashtanga vinyasa circles.
