Yoga
Mala
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
K.
Pattabhi Jois is the founder and director of the Ashtanga
Yoga Research Institute in Mysore India. His book "Yoga
Mala" is considered to be the most authentic text on
this ancient style of yoga.
Mala
means "garland" in Sanskrit, and Yoga Mala--a "garland
of yoga asanas".
In
this treatise K. Pattabhi Jois first outlines the ethical
principles and philosophy underlying the discipline of Ashtanga
Yoga and explains its important terms and concepts. Next he
guides the reader through versions of the Sun Salutation and
its subsequent sequence of forty-two asanas, or poses, precisely
describing how to execute each position and what benefits
each provides.

Yoga
For Chickens
Lynn Brunelle
Chickens
know a few things about feeling fried. That's why they've
been practicing yoga for centuries. As this hilariously illustrated
guide to simple yoga poses reveals, we have much to learn
from their bird-brained wisdom. Anyone who's all cooped up
or stressed out by the pecking order will feel like a spring
chicken in no time thanks to such postures as Chick's Pose,
Snake in the Grass, and Chicken of the Sea. Sections on breathing
and stretching enlighten any load, and a series of fix-it
routines unscramble such problem areas as neck, thighs, and
aching feet. Thoughtful hen koans (why did the chicken cross
the road?) and plucky affirmations invite contemplation and
are sure to inspire budding yoginis to spread their wings.
Googly eyed, combs akimbo, these very funky chickens will
illuminate both beginners and the adept, and are sure to make
anyone's day more chirpy -- all for a nice cheep price. Even
the toughest old bird will crack a smile with Yoga for Chickens.

Anatomy for Yoga
Paul Grilley
This
comprehensive DVD includes nearly 4 hours of in-depth lectures
and demonstrations of human anatomy as it relates to Yoga
practice. Paul's material is divided into seven successive
chapters starting with an overview of anatomical concepts
and delving deep into each of the major joints of the body.
Using
a wide range of normal yoga students to illustrate the natural
differences found in every single body, a real skeleton and
computer-generated 3D models, Paul thoroughly demonstrates
how the bones differ significantly from person to person,
and how to use that knowledge in gaining a much deeper understanding
of our individual practices.
"Teachers, serious students, and anyone running a
teacher training program worth its salt will want a copy of
this DVD."

Ashtanga
NY DVD OUT OF STOCK
A Film by Caroline Laskow & Mary Wigmore
Featuring Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Rangaswamy, Willem
Dafoe and Gwyneth Paltrow
Ashtanga,
NY was originally intended as a concert film celebrating the
Ashtanga style of yoga, now wildly popular in the United States
and around the world. It follows the aging yoga guru Sri K.
Pattabhi Jois as he gives his final North American workshop
in New York City in September 2001. Devotees were arriving
from all over the world to partake in a rare opportunity to
practice with the 86 year-old Jois.
The
9/11 terrorist attacks took place in the midst of this celebration,
and dramatically changed the meaning and purpose of this yoga
gathering. In the difficult weeks that followed, Jois used
the Ashtanga practice to help heal and fortify his diverse
followers.
This
is no intructional video, and these are not your garden-variety
contortionists. Ashtanga, NY is a real look into the intersection
of ancient practice and modern life, New York-style.
