About the Author
David Swenson began the practice of yoga in 1969 at the age of 13. He found Ashtanga in 1973 through David Williams. In 1974 K. Pattabhi Jois made his first trip to the US and David began studies directly with him at that time. He then traveled to Mysore, India in 1977 and learned the entire system in it's original form. David is recognized today as one of the foremost authorities of Ashtanga Yoga.

Customer Reviews

Oh, it's a PRACTICE manual

This book would be wonderful for someone who has been practicing yoga for 10 plus years. Definitely not for the beginner. It's like trying to read a foreign language even though there are definitions in the early chapters. I'm going to try to send it back.

David Swenson is an artist!

Perfect for the mat
I love this book! it has all the positions you can think of, and different ways of doing each one to make them easier or more advanced. I loved how it showed the guy in the book doing yoga poses on cliffs and stuff. It was inspirational (although i won't be doing that anytime soon!) It came in great condition, and quickly.
