Re: Digest Number 763

 

As I have read Sri. Krishnamacharya found an ancient text named "Yoga Korunta"

and asked Pathabbi Jois to work on it. This text is the base of ashtanga yoga.

So Jois didn´t invented Ashtanga yoga.

>He teaches only asanas because the westerners who are the paying customers for

ashtanga aren't interested in the other 7 limbs -- myself included. If people

would pay for it, he'd teach the other 7 limbs, too.

 

Sad to know Jois compromise his practice to what makes money. I know many yoga

teachers who prefer to have a main income for living from other source than

yoga, but they are commited to transmit the 8 limbs of yoga in the way they were

taught.
