This post is from Instagram, a few days ago. I’m posting it now to see how well Blogger works on the iphone.
I spent the whole day yesterday (a few days ago now) creating a photo archive of the asana and mudra in T.K. Sribhasyham’s Emergence of Yoga. Been wanting to make up practice sheets and a do a closer practice by practice study of the book for a long time. This is supposedly one of Krishnamacharya’s own practices, a ‘proficient primary’ practice of around ten asana.
First time I’ve spent a day at the computer working on a yoga project for years.
These can also be used as signposts for short Vinyasa Krama subroutines built around the key asana.
Such a Vinyasa Krama approach to this might include a short tadasana sequence followed by some sun salutations with mantra. Then kapalabhati in vajrasana, ujjayi anuloma in padmasana followed by the matsyasana. Here we could insert a short bow subroutine leading to bhujangasana. Ramaswami has a few Sarvangasana prep postures. And he will often suggest the shoulderstand- headstand ( perhaps with vinyasas)- shoulderstand pattern. Finish with the two mudras (pachimatanasana practiced as a mudra here) and the pranayama.
Or, keep it stripped back to just the asana as it is here.
