Aug 11, 2007 - It's a good point that you brought up, but Ashtanga has to be explained somehow, right? The whole system of Ashtanga is more than just the asanas. It includes breathing and meditating as well. Besides, Pattabhi Jois is over 90 years old, and he doesn't do the asanas like he used to. He did his practice for decades, so you would think he could use the rest. But he still practices pranayama breathing.

Aug 11, 2007 - Do you realize who Pattabhi Jois is? He studied with Krishnamacharya (please check out that clip) who revitalized the Hatha yoga tradition in the early 1900's. Pattabhi Jois studied under him and created the Ashtanga series (please correct me if I am wrong). If YOU do yoga...it is because of men like Pattabhi Jois!!!

gamelanplan Says:

Aug 11, 2007 - Yes, Krishnamacharya and Jois developed the Ashtanga series from the old texts. They did a lot of adapting. Krishnamacharya, along with Jois and Krishnamacharya's brother-in -law B.K.S. Iyengar, have been influential on modern day hatha yoga.

Aug 24, 2007 - Gabrinkas, it is an interesting point you make. If you knew this Yogi you would know that he actually speaks very little as a rule. He is also over 90 years old.

Aug 28, 2007 - Satya Meva JayateYajur Veda 40:9 says,"They are in darkness and are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti-the material cause of the world-in place of the All-pervading God, but those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, humans bodies in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time"

Sep 23, 2007 - He ( we ) know what we talk cause we have 3000 years selfknowledge. Have a nice day! OM

kirsituo Says:

Sep 23, 2007 - We mixed yoga and religion ( truth and love ) to make a betterworld cause this world is " perseestä ". You can just go on withyour practise maybe one day you´ll get the selfknowledge.I am so sorry that my english is not so very good!You can do some theory with Patanjali.

kirsituo Says:

Sep 29, 2007 - Yoga is universal. Do your practise and all is coming.My teacher said to me: " Do things that feel good, don´t doanything that you feel bad" that was a very good advice. Only you self know what is good or bad to you.Best wishes yogi Kurunam

Jan 24, 2008 - I really love Ashtanga Yoga, it is great to get the mind calm and clean the body.

ashtangaboi Says:

Feb 21, 2008 - P Jois gave up his physical practice as a form of sacrifice after his eldest son died. as to the "fat" you should see Iyangar who in his late 80's and with a belly, can do amazing physical asanas.plus its an interview, so smarten up.
