Krishnamacharya, chief designer of Ashtanga Yoga, teacher of Pattabhi Jois

by Matthew Sweeney, The Yoga Temple Although Yoga, meditation and self inquiry are gaining popularity worldwide, these are still relatively new concepts for many people. How we define these concepts and the clarity with which we pursue them is of great interest to me. I am using the following definitions to shine a light on how adherence to a tradition can either help or hinder your practice of Yoga. It might be useful to note how you personally respond to these definitions and to … [Read more...]

At home, I practiced bits and pieces or asana here and there, a seated session after dinner, a … [Read more...]
