T. Krishnamacharya's disciple coming to NYC!


Practicum of Vinyasa Krama Yoga


with Srivatsa Ramaswami


Course Description:
Vinyasa Krama was the core system taught by Sri T Krishnamacharya in his teachings of yogasanas. Srivatsa Ramaswami studied this system in considerable detail during his 30 year study under the Master. Vinyasa is the art form of Yoga practice, with elaborate, aesthetic variations and movements in essential Yoga Postures. In this program the basic elements of classical Vinyasa Krama, or Vinyasa Yoga, will be considered in detail.


Close to 200 essential Vinyasas in a number of sequences forming the basis of the system will be taught along with the appropriate synchronous breathing. Discussions and practice of different elements of Pranayama will also be addressed, apart from introduction to important Sanskrit chants useful for Yoga practice.

Srivatsa Ramaswami was the longest standing student of T Krishnamacharya outside the Master's family. He has written four books: "Basic Tenets of Patanjala Yoga," "Yoga for the Three Stages of Life," "The Complete Book of Vinyasa Yoga," and "Yoga Beneath the Surface." Mr. Ramaswami has also recorded about 40 audio cassettes and CDs in India of various Sanskrit chants like Sun Salutation, Gayatri, Siva Kavacham, etc.
