Inside Ashtanga Yoga: The outer body and the inner realm
From the seen to the unseen — the subtle body, sūkṣma śarīra, is the landscape of Yoga transformation. Day after day, in active practice, the practitioner cultivates a disciplined inner eye, to observe and refine breath, bandhas, focus and stability to purify the nādis, the nervous system. The nervous system is the realm of sattva and illumination. Pattabhi Jois prioritized the refinement of the nādis, the command of the senses, and healing of the body with the ancient tools of ujjayi, bandhas, trataka, āsana, and vinyāsa.
The gift of Yoga, of this Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, is the radical belief that each practitioner has the key to moṣka, to mukti, here and now. This path to mokṣa is Inside Ashtanga Yoga: in the mapping and transformation of the subtle body.

To truly practice Yoga 🙏🏻 one should know its true aim and too, know the all pervading techniques for transformation. Chanting the Sutras 🕉️ we come to know their meaning and to bring conviction and purpose to our practices. I am launching two 6-week courses on ZOOM beginning April 28 and April 30. Let’s chant and discuss Samādhi Pāda and Vibhuti Pāda. Link to register in my bio. 🌺

I met Dr. Jayashree 🙏🏻 in Mysore in 1998. I sat with her daily, for hours over many months, over many visits, over many decades and learned to chant 🕉️ The Yoga Sutras as well as many other verses, ślokas, Bhagavād Gita. Ramayana, śanti mantras 💎 and so much more. She taught me to chant in the traditional manner, in call-and-response. Śruti paramparā. We chanted without books, and ultimately we still do today. I love teaching The Sūtras, Sūtra chanting and insights from the Sūtras that guide, inspire and enhance our lives as yoga practitioners and sādakhas. Meet me and join a wonderful group of chanters on ZOOM. New courses begin March 10 and March 12, 2026 for 6-weeks. The link for more information and registration is in my bio 👆🏻

We have a few spaces available for this special event in January. 🙏🏽❤️🕉️ Jayashree is a beloved chanting, Sanskrit and wisdom teacher of Mysore. Over the past 25 years, nearly 10,000 international and local yoga students have come to her library to learn traditional chanting of The Yoga Sutras, Vedic Mantras, Bhagavad Gita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika as well as beautiful hymns and devotional songs. Dr. Jayashree is a trained Carnatic classical singer, and became a favorite singer of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and sang yearly at his birthday celebrations.
It has been Jayashree’s dream to host a Sanskrit and chanting immersion in Mysore and to share a depth of chanting, Sanskrit and philosophy from the Treasure of Yogic Wisdom.
I am honored to support Jayashree in her vision and to announce this rare offering.
If you are interested in joining, DM me. Also link with details is in my bio.

"And so it was, one afternoon, we set off to meet Guruji on the appointed day. Jayashree and her brother Narasimhan were quite nervous. I’ll admit, so was I! When they entered the small front room of his modest home, they each bent down to touch the feet of the wise elder, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. They also addressed him as Guruji."
