On this page I'm planning to add practice sheets for the six examples of Krishnamacharya's own practice included in Srtibhashyam's book. This will probably be after I complete the General practice sheets at the end of June 21.

nabhi - navel
sroni - centre of the pelvis

The star: lying on his back to look as far as possible on the sky
Taraka: the horizon point,
Kumbhaka
A.K. = Antah Kumbhaka (holding of breath after inhalation )
B.K = Bhaya Kumbhaka (holding of breath after exhalation )

BONUS
Here is a practice sheet based on Krishnamacharya's youngest daughter Sri Shubha's daily practice, that she learned from her father. A part of the practice is found 56 minutes into Breath of Gods, the documentary on Krishnamacharya by Jan Schmidt-Garre on which Sribhashyam consulted.

| Sri Shubha, Krishnamacharya's yougest daughter, demonstrating her daily practice, learned from her father, in the Sanskrit college, Mysore , India. |
The full practice is found on the bonus DVD.
It can currently be found on YouTube and is quite delightful.

Notice the differences from the practices found in Sribhashyam's book.
