This interesting interview with the late Iyengar is telling of how is method developed .
Both my teachers Srivatsa Ramaswami and Iyengar were taught by T . Krishnamacharya.
Only difference: Iyengar was taught when he was 14 year’s old till he was 22 year’s old boy, while Srivatsa Ramaswami started when he was 14 year’s old until well over his mid 50’s and had more than 30 years of study with Krishnamacharya.
As Iyengar points out in this interview he learned the jumps and from there had to continue, while Ramaswami had to learn the jumps but also all the subtleties of the practice of krishnamacharya’s vinyasa yoga, chanting and meditation for a span that lasted for over 30 years of learning.
Srivatsa Ramaswami chose to teach yoga exactly as he was taught by his teacher Krishnamacharya while Iyengar, as he said in the interview, took another path : « From where my Guruji left, I proceeded ».
I am gratuful to both of them because i started doing yoga with Iyengar but the culmination of my studies were with what I consider my true teacher Mr. Srivatsa Ramaswami who helped me to understand all the full spectrum of yoga from the teacher of our teachers the father of modern yoga T. Krishnamacharya.
Thank you Ramaswami.
