The Yoga Tradition of the Mysore Palace Hardcover – 15 June 2003

very good

great

This is a unique glimpse into the recent development of the modern asana practice. Scholar and yoga teacher, Norman Sjoman, explains this phenomenon via his personal research. A forward thinking Maharaja at the Mysore Palace sparked a yogic renaissance that fostered the development of asana that we enjoy today. What you learn may suprise you. However, the truth is more fascinating than the myth...

If you practice, Iyengar, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Viniyoga or Vinyasa Krama you will want to know more about Krishnamacharya. This book is a great research that is a must.

Useful insight to traditional yoga practice.

Great resource. Wonderful reproductions of artwork. NE Sjoman lists asanas from different texts in the index. I think Sjoman's work compliments deMicheles and Singleton.
