13.01.2022 So what is Viniyoga? Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) can be considered the father of modern Yoga in the West. The names of his students, and styles that they taught read like a who’s who of the yoga world: Indra Devi (1899-2002); K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009) Ashtanga Yoga; B.K.S. Iyengar (1918-2014) Iyengar Yoga; T.K.V. Desikachar (1938-2016) Viniyoga; A.G. Mohan (1945- ) Svastha Yoga. Krishnamacharya and his son Desikachar, evolved the principles of Viniyoga over ...many years of teaching and practice. Principle One Begin from where you are: we are all different in body shape, flexibility, age and state of health, and so we need to take these factors into account in our daily practice. Principle Two Link movement with the breath: when we consciously link breathing with our asana practice, we bring body, mind and higher self into union. Principle Three Repetition before holding: we move in and out of an asana, warming and toning the body, before holding and breathing into the posture. Principle Four Function over form: the intent of the asana is taken into account (i.e. forward bend, twist etc), and the posture modified to accommodate Principle One. Principle Five Sequencing: we intelligently arrange our asana practice in such a way so as to: account for principles one to four above; to allow for counter posing; and also to accommodate the time of day and season.
