Ashtanga Yoga
As It Is
3rd Edition
This book is a comprehensive guide to the first four sequences
of Ashtanga Yoga: Primary, Intermediate, Advanced A and Advanced
B as taught by Shri Krishna Pattabhi Jois. To date this is the
only book available which details all of the first four
traditional sequences of Ashtanga Yoga.
The third edition of Ashtanga Yoga As It Is contains an
extensive range of new material, providing many relevant
techniques on breathing, Asana, Bandha and Drishti. It offers
insight into the practical application of Yoga philosophy
including information on the Chakra, Granthi, Nadi and the Yoga
sutras of Patanjali. The photographic section of the book
visually depicts all of the postures, movements and breaths of
the first four traditional sequences. It also presents the
correct Sanskrit transliterations and the traditional Vinyasa
counting for every posture. The first two editions of the book
(which are currently out of print) are a simple and beautiful
visual presentation of only the Asana for the traditional
series.
Ashtanga Yoga As It Is provides an exploration of both the
physical and psychological aspects of the practice. It aims to
shed light on some core Yoga concepts and relevant self
development principles. It covers the main points of the
Ashtanga tradition including many previously unwritten rules
advocated by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois. This is a one of a kind map
to the traditional Vinyasa method.
Printed on black and white satin durable paper, the book is
presented in an A4 (29x21cm) landscape format. It is spiral
bound which makes it ideal for placing beside the Yoga mat. |

The following two downloads are an additional resource for
Ashtanga Yoga As It Is.
The first download is an abbreviated version of the Primary Series and
involves the majority of the standing postures and just a few sitting
postures and back bending. This sequence is a useful alternative when you
do not have the time or energy to do your regular practice but will still
give you plenty of scope to work with the traditional flow and focus. This
condensed practice is easy to print and place beside your yoga mat.
The second download is for those students who have ongoing knee issues or a
knee injury. It combines both the Primary and Intermediate Series while
omitting all the postures that compress or endanger the knees. If you have
the ability to work through the Primary and Intermediate Series but are not
sure how to proceed, this sequence will be ideal for you.
For greatest ease in readability and quality have these
sequences printed on standard A4 sized paper. If you prefer a
larger format then you can scale them up to an A3 size and take
them to a professional printer for the best possible quality.

Moon Sequence Poster: Chandra Krama
This sequence is designed for maximum accessibility for
practitioners of any level -
Whether novice or experienced, young or old, injured or tired or
in the prime of your life.
Chandra Krama is intended for practice on the full moon and the
new moon. Practicing an alternative gentle sequence at these
times of the month is ideal so you can avoid strain and injury.
It is also helpful to become aware of your changing internal
condition as influenced by the waxing and waning moon. This
sequence is also recommended when you are feeling tired or
incapable of doing your regular practice. Practiced with
patience Chandra Krama is rewarding and strengthening.
Although there are no jumps in this sequence the core principles
of movement and breath are maintained. The emphasis of Chandra
Krama is on the hips and mid-section of the body, with decreased
emphasis on upper body strength and the knees. The Moon sequence
is a great alternative if you find the particular focus in the
traditional series has caused some instability, injury, or is
simply unsuitable for you. This has therapeutic benefits, giving
you the chance to continue a regular practice without adding
further strain or injury to a problem. You will give your body
the chance to heal, and you can then step back into your regular
practice sooner rather than later.
Photographed in B&W this poster is a work of art, with clear,
easy to follow details of all the relevant movements and breaths
between postures. |
