From the preface by David Williams, the man who brought Ashtanga Yoga from India to the West:
“I recommend Thomas's book (…) because it explains Pattabhi Jois's Ashtanga Yoga with greater insight and clarity than any other book I have read.”
This is the second, revised and extended edition of the book that may have a lasting impact on your practice of Ashtanga Yoga. It is not another description of a sequence of asanas. At roughly the price of one yoga class, this compact and thoroughly researched book compiles the essence of the author’s own long-lasting studies of the history, theory and the philosophy behind Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois and his family. It fills a gap in the literature about Ashtanga Yoga and helps yoga students as well as teachers understand its true purpose.
The first edition of this book (2014) was received warmly. This second, revised and extended edition incorporates the feedback given by serious readers, plus some additional information – now with kleshas, vrittis and samskaras! More about meditation, sun salutations, moon days and astrology in general!
This second edition is the first book that includes information from writings by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois that most practitioners have never heard of. We have also added pictures (not of asanas). Some of them are quite old and blurry, unfortunately, but we have tried our best to enhance their quality.
Thomas Still journeyed to India for the first time at age 19 and has returned many times since. He is a dedicated long-time practitioner of Ashtanga Yoga from Munich, Germany. Thomas is authorized to teach Ashtanga Yoga (www.ashtangamunich.com) and holds a master’s degree in philosophy from Munich University.
The topics covered in this book include:
The History of Ashtanga Yoga;
Ashtanga Yoga: The Doctrine - What Is Yoga, Anyway? - Ashtau Anga – The Eight Limbs of Patanjali's Philosophy - The Ashtanga Yoga Mantras - Astrology - The Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Other Yoga Classics;
An Art of Healing - Prana, Nadis and Bandhas - Healing the Physical Body - Healing the Mind - Healing the Soul;
Ashtanga Yoga: The Method - Meditation - “Do Your Practice and All Is Coming” - Shri K. Pattabhi Jois´ Teaching Style;
1 Percent Anatomy;
Things to Ponder (Recommended for Students);
Things to Ponder (Recommended for Teachers)
