The seminal treatise and guide to Ashtanga yoga by the master of this increasingly popular discipline
One of the great yoga figures of our time, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois brought Ashtanga yoga to the West more than thirty years ago. Based on flowing, energetic movement coordinated with the breath, Ashtanga and the many forms of vinyasa yoga that grow directly out of it have become the most widespread and influential styles practiced today.
Yoga Mala—a “garland of yoga”—is Jois’s authoritative guide to Ashtanga. In it, he outlines the ethical principles and philosophy underlying the discipline, explains important terms and concepts, and guides the reader through Ashtanga’s Sun Salutations and the subsequent primary sequence of forty-two asanas, or poses, precisely describing how to execute each position and what benefits each provides. It is a foundational work on yoga by a true master.
To coincide with publication of Guruji: A Portrait of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Through the Eyes of His Students by Guy Donahaye and Eddie Stern, this new edition of Yoga Mala includes a foreword by Jois’s grandson Sharath Rangaswamy, currently co-director of the famous school Jois founded in Mysore, the Ashtanga Yoga Institute.

In Hinduism, all prayers begin with Om, and the three Sanskrit letters that make up the word Om stand for the creation, sustaining, and destruction of the universe. Read more

YogaAccessories (TM) 8' Cinch Buckle Cotton Yoga Strap...Yoga straps and belts are useful for yogis of all levels. One reason people stay away from starting yoga is they believe they are not flexible enough. What they don't realize is that yoga is not about flexibility, but about strengthening the body to join with the mind and spirit. Yoga straps help achieve this goal by making a pose attainable from the onset until flexibility is achieved. Belts provide length, enabling you to grasp limbs that are otherwise too far away.
Our YogaAccessories™ Cotton Yoga Straps are 1.5'' wide, providing maximum comfort and preventing constricted circulation. The 6' belt is our most popular length, and is ideal for most uses. For taller or less flexible yogis we also have 8' and 10' lengths. Our yoga straps are available in your choice of d-ring, cinch buckle, pinch buckle, or even no closure at all (available only in 10' length). Read more
