Chalkmine - quote from Jois on BBB

[Guest guest]

You might want to add to your research the

article on Ashtanga and Pattabhi Jois by Rebecca Mead in

the August 14, 2000 issue of the New Yorker. I

beleive there is a link to an online version posted way

back in the posts on this club somewhere. This quote

is from the article:<br><br>"Jois has a particular

animus against Beryl Bender Birch, the author of the

popular book "Power Yoga," a very accesible guide that is

based upon the Ashtanga series. 'Only money-making,'

Jois told me sternly. (In reply, Birch says, 'My

objective was to bring this system to mainstream America,

to a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise have been

comfortable trying yoga. As far as I can see, we have all

benefitted from it.')"<br><br>I now dare not reveal my true

identity lest the lawyers of the New Yorker track me down

and sue me for copyright infringement.

here's the link to the new yorker article,

originally put up by tiber66 (personally, tiber, i liked the

hell's angel shot you used to have up. not the 'typical'

look one might imagine when thinking of a

yogi)<br><br><a href=http://files.hammock.com/Jois-article/

monkeymind71 --<br><br>Ah! A hard tip to follow!

I thank you for the pointer to that article.

<br><br>Your quoted response, I believe, falls into the "fair

use" category so you're safe from the Copyright cops.
