My Krishnamacharya's Original Ashtanga Yoga Book is based on the tamil edition translation Yoga Makaranda by Sri T. Krishnamacharya (Written in Kannada)
Tamil Translation by Sri C.M.V. Krishnamacharya (with the assistance of Sri S. Ranganathadesikacharya)

Given the gratitude i feel and respect i havr for thevintegrity of the original translators of Yoga Makaranda, should they make the request, I would be more than happy to remove the print edition if they were to feel it is not beneficial, as well as discuss removing the free pdf edition.
It is not related to the more recent publication See Letter.

The book is an attempt to make Krishnamacharya's approach to asana presented in the book more accessible (especially to the Jois Ashtanga Vinyasa community) but NEVER intended as a substitute for the original.
The book came about in response to the need to bring my notes together for a short series of workshops on Krishnamacharya where I stripped Krishnamacharya's asana instruction down to the bear minimum for pedagogic purposes. I was asked to make the notes available as well as a later print edition with clear pictorial representation of the vinyasas in the manner in which we are familiar in Ashtanga vinyasa circles.
My book continues to be available, free (always) to download, at my Free Downloads page (link below). As is the original along with Yoga Makaranda part II, our translation of Krishnamacharya's yogasanagalu, my earlier Vinyasa krama book and other resources.

From first publishing the print edition I have included a 50% price reduction to bring the book virtually down to cost price, it's made available for those who still prefer books in Print.
Amazon do not allow me to discount the book and some buy the text from Lulu at the reduced price and sell it at the list price or higher via ebay. When kindly sharing links to the book may i request that you remind readers that it is half the price from LuLu and always free to download from my blog.
