Astanga Yoga

by Lino Miele, K. Pattabhi jois

Lino Miele, a devoted student of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, began practising Astanga Yoga in 1989, since then his practice has evoked many life changes.
In 1993 he left his professional vocation in theatre as a technical director. Now he directs and teaches with his partner Tina Pizzimenti in their "Astanga Yoga School" in Rome Italy.
Lino's dedication to his Guru and own astanga practice has led him to the challenge of recording the inner meanings and practical application of the Vinyasa system.
As a result of his efforts he has kindly produced this text to share, help and inspire his fellow astanga students.

This Astanga Yoga book is authorised by Guru Jois, and it is a bit different than the first I have read. It has an intermediate section. Highly recommended.

[Louise Dexter · Rating 5 out of 5]

An essential read for anyone interested in deepening their ashtanga practice.

This book contains some ashtanga background but most of the book is focused on the poses and the traditional vinyasa count.

I will definitely be referring back to this book many times I'm sure. It has more details for the primary series but also includes the poses and counts for the intermediate series.

It is for sure a great reference book for ashtanga vinyasa sequence … but it only contains breaths and counts and nothing else. I was hoping for some additional info - e.g. how to get to a pose, which actions are required to perform it to its full benefits or what are the benefits and watch-outs of the poses.

Most complete overview of ashtanga yoga, especially about the asanas together with dristis with overview of benefits for the body and mind

Best technical book on Ashtanga yoga ever written! It is my Ashtanga yoga bible.

È pieno di affermazioni senza dubbio frutto dell'esperienza, ma prive di argomentazioni. Quelle che ci sono si basano su concetti del tutto estranei alle nostre conoscenze scientifiche. Le posizioni delle serie sono praticamente prive di spiegazioni e dettagli. Mancano completamente informazioni sui movimenti di collegamento.

This is a manual for Asha yoga practitioners. It covers the Primary and Intermediate series, providing health benefits of the poses & detailed practical explanations (count, breathing, drishti, etc.) & pictures.
