Krisnamacharya Yoga Film 1938 (silent)

This is a video made in 1938 showing the Great yoga teacher demonstrating Asana and pranyama. He was the teacher of BKS Iyengar and Sri K. Pattahbi Jois, founder the Astanga style of yoga. The film is so old that any claim to copyright has expired.

Here we see a young Iyengar (still alive, well, and doing yoga, BTW) doing advanced poses that constitute the advanced A & B astanga series. This is obviously well before Iyengar dropped the vinyasa aspect from his practice and rebranded it as "Iyengar Yoga", putting greater emphasis on allignment.

This another section of Iyengar from the 1938 newsreel.
