| Introduction | I came to Yoga in March 2007 to make ‘Sitting’ more comfortable after our house was burgled. I chose to practiced daily at home rather than in a class or group, teaching myself from books, videos and the actual experience of daily practice. I lost 20 kilo and practiced Ashtanga Primary to Advanced B. In 2010, I attended Srivatsa Ramaswami’s (Krishnamacharya’s student of 30+ years) five week teacher training which included a close reading of Krishnamacharya’s early texts, I’ve continued to research Krishnamacharya ever since. Following the revelations of Pattabhi Jois’ sexual abuse and a general disillusionment with the marketing of yoga, I’ve now removed 75% of the posts (1700 blog posts). I’ve tried to remove any photos or videos of Jois I may have had on the blog. This isn’t an attempt to erase Jois from Ashtanga history but rather to no longer promote him. What remains on the blog is mostly the research posts that I’ve been asked to keep. I’ve taken a similar approach to the videos shared on my YouTube channel, this may mean that some video links in a post no longer work. |
