       ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      Many thanks to the modern master of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Shri T. Krishnamacharya, and those who studied under him and continue his work. Without their contributions, this beacon of light would have been extinguished.

      Thanks also to my wife, Monica, for contributing valuable information in the fields of anatomy and asana and for her relentless pursuit of knowledge.
