This is just a post to launch a new stand-alone page sitting at the top of the blog that I've called Ashtanga History
 |
| Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois |
It's a new page bringing together some of the posts I've put up on this blog over the last couple of years relating to Ashtanga history. I keep trying to refer to some of these posts or lift something from them for another post but end up forgetting when I posted them and what they were called. This is an attempt to bring some of the more historical material together. Some are better than others of course, some, may well be nonsense and just plain wrong. However there are some good sources and documents I think to draw our own conclusions
Those posts on Krishnamacharya I've tried to confine to the period he was in Mysore and teaching the Young Pattabhi Jois. I've also added a selection of old Ashtanga videos from YouTube at the end.
I want to stress here Karen's Caveat,
"...this is just my interpretation".
I'm no historian, no expertby any means, just a curious and overly enthusiastic amateur, .
