Ashtanga, Embodiment and Complex Systems: Reflections during my years of practice with Sharath Jois (2014-2024)

By Iain Grysak

About Ashtanga, Embodiment and Complex Systems:

The collected essays in this book represent the evolution of my Ashtanga practice, teaching and worldview for the 10-year period that began with a new teacher, a new home, and a new philosophical and spiritual framework in 2014.

Four of the essays were specifically written about my first, second and fifth trips to practice in Mysore with R. Sharath Jois.

The other essays explore physical, energetic and philosophical dimensions of Ashtanga practice, reinterpreted through my own animistic and complex systems oriented worldview.
