Pattabhi Jois is at the heart of it. One of the great yoga figures of our time, Jois brought Ashtanga yoga to the West a quarter of a century ago and has been the driving force behind its worldwide dissemination. Based on flowing, energetic movement, Ashtanga and the many forms of vinyasa yoga that grow directly out of it--have become the most widespread and influential styles of practice in the United States today.\n\nMala means \"garland\" in Sanskrit, and Yoga Mala--a \"garland of yoga practice\"--is Joiss distillation of Ashtanga. He first outlines the ethical principles and philosophy underlying the discipline and explains its important terms and concepts. Next he guides the reader through Ashtangas 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.\nBrought into English by Eddie Stern, a student of Joiss for twelve years and director of the Patanjali Yoga Shala in New York City, Yoga Mala will be an indispensable handbook for students and teachers of yoga for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"North Point Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45213071540277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0865476624","price":27.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780865476622_c54b3f88-6da6-4f73-ba29-57af622d7699.jpg?v=1779911244","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/yoga-mala-9780865476622","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
