As someone who has only begun his journey with yoga, I am "envious" of those who have been touched and shaped by Guruji. But there is no place for envy in yoga. Through our practise can we express our gratitude for what he's given to all of us.
Good bye Guruji, well make you live forever through your Teaching, which was a gift for us, in the West. Thank you Pattabhi. Big Soul ! Your Spirit & your Teaching will continue to inspire our practice, our spirit, our life. Thank you dear Guruji for being such an inspiration to us. Always in my heart Guruji !Peaceful passing in your next life
Yes, Krishnamacharya and Jois developed the Ashtanga series from the old texts. They did a lot of adapting. Krishnamacharya, along with Jois and Krishnamacharya's brother-in -law B.K.S. Iyengar, have been influential on modern day hatha yoga.
in India, when there is an untimely death, sometimes those close to the person will sacrifice something important to them in honor of the person that passed. when Gurujis eldest son died, gurugi gave up his asana (posture) practice.
Gabrinkas, it is an interesting point you make. If you knew this Yogi you would know that he actually speaks very little as a rule. He is also over 90 years old.
you don't recognice a master when you hear one. respect, peace, love... if you don´t like keep your mouth closed. did you practice ashtanga??? you have to give thanks to this guy the bigest modern master
That looks mid 70's. The led primary and second series videos you can find on here were filmed in 1993 so this looks about 20 years prior based on his appearance and video quality.
"as a form of sacrifice after his eldest son died" Its sad to hear but I don't seem to understand this sentence? Can you please explain more. Im trying to solve my confusion not to act odd.
It's a good point that you brought up, but Ashtanga has to be explained somehow, right? The whole system of Ashtanga is more than just the asanas. It includes breathing and meditating as well. Besides, Pattabhi Jois is over 90 years old, and he doesn't do the asanas like he used to. He did his practice for decades, so you would think he could use the rest. But he still practices pranayama breathing.
I understand that the whole thing is too intimate and of a high level like the son in the scriptures (sravan) who carried his old parents or the wife in Mahabharata who closed her eyes with cloth because her husband was blind. Not so easy to understand but I know something of a higher level.
P Jois gave up his physical practice as a form of sacrifice after his eldest son died. as to the "fat" you should see Iyangar who in his late 80's and with a belly, can do amazing physical asanas. plus its an interview, so smarten up.
I wonder why ashtanga vinyasa community is so obsessed with asana & body that they do not go further to pranayama, vipassana, meditative practices, application of yama & Niyama. But fortunately, there are many other traditions which do educate about it. Mainstream modern yoga is also mostly physical - that is not Yoga, just a misunderstanding or confusion
This man alone has given the gift for all the humanity in the world .. the best gift ever ! We are all indebted to him and his knowledge , very deep

I watch this again and again… there is so much wisdom to it.

Fantastic. I like especially what he said about practice and theory. Hopefully I will be able to reach my dreams one day.

Does anyone know when this was originally filmed? (Thanks.)
John Rain McManus Maybe in 1990's coz jois died in 2009. in the video he looks quite young!

Filmed in 1980's by Dr Ray R. In Santa Barbara While GuruJi was at White Lotus Foundation. RIP Ray R.
1983 maybe 1986
🙏🏻
Namaste

nice complimet there
You're probably thinking of Iyengar. Pattabhi Jois passed away a few years ago.

I was told this man is 94 years old. That CAN'T be right, can it?
I understand that the whole thing is too intimate and of a high level like the son in the scriptures (sravan) who carried his old parents or the wife in Mahabharata who closed her eyes with cloth because her husband was blind. Not so easy to understand but I know something of a higher level.
