 Ashtanga Yoga — "In the Tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India"

"Yoga, as a way of life and a philosophy, can be practiced by anyone with inclination to undertake it, for yoga belongs to humanity as a whole. It is not the property of any one group or any one individual, but can be followed by any and all, in any corner of the globe, regardless of class, creed or religion."

In remembrance of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India 1915-2009


Yoga Master Sri K. Pattabhi Jois passed away on May 18th 2009 in Mysore, India.
His life was an inspiration to so very many that practice Yoga as a result of his 70 straight years of teaching the Ashtanga Yoga method. His spirit lives on with each breath we take!

Besides teaching Ashtanga, Prem has just completed writing his first book, "The Only Way Out Is In," which is his commentary on the synergy of the three life sciences: Ashtanga Yoga, Ayuveda and Tantra. He travels around the world enthusiastically teaching about these three sciences.

"99% practice and 1% theory"
— Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India
Pineapple Yoga Temple Vision
"Yoga says experience. Just like science says experiment, yoga says experience. Experiment and experience are both the same, their directions are different. Experiment means something you can do outside; experience means something you can do inside. Experience is an inside experiment."
— OSHO
"For GRACE to happen, seeking has to stop, but the seeking stops by GRACE. It is a double-bind." "The process of seeking starts with the individual and continues until there is the total understanding that the individual just doesn't exist."
— Ramesh S. Balsekar
"Yoga is existential, experiential, experimental. No belief is required, no faith is needed-only courage to experience."
— OSHO
"If the quality of our consciousness in this moment determines the future; What is it that determines the quality of consciousness?"
— Eckhart Tolle (Author of "THE POWER OF NOW")
"Be truthful to yourself."
