A little extra section I'm chucking in the 2nd edition of my Vinyasa Krama Yoga Practice Book.
Vinyasa Krama isn't as Jumpbackcentric as Ashtanga, they don't tend to come up between every posture but they do appear at the beginning or end of some sequences/subroutines as a lead in or lead out.
There are a few of the ones below ( 130, 133, 134, 135 and 139 ) added, seemingly almost as an afterthought, towards the end of Ramaswami's book. He writes,
'Lifting one's body and jumping while supporting oneself on one's hands form a set of sequences quite popular these days' p230
I've thrown in a couple of extras, I'm still a fan. I like how they transition through Urdhva Mukha svanasana (upward facing dog) giving you a backbend counter pose after all the forward bends, I tend to do mine after ever subroutine.

Thank you thank you thank you, I never had seen the way is done for trianga muka, love this! Or from the marichis, this is making it sooo clear. Great work!
You Like Claudia : ) I'm a big fan of screenshots. I used to capture everyone's jump throughs on YouTube and turn them into screen shots then put my latest one underneath to try and work out where I was going wrong.
Ramaswami has the trianga one in his book, was surprised to find it there.
There are still a few missing, need to turn my lotus jump through into screenshots and then flim the jump through into the different janu's, oh and that subtle one that Sharath does, like that.
Still hoping to get the ruddy book finished for tomorrow but, still a lot of fiddling about to do with it, adding titles to all the sequences is taking ages.
Thinking about printing it without notes to the sequences but then spend the next month doing a couple of subroutines each evening from the book and doing a mini blog post on them with some notes. Then at the end of the month add all the notes to the book, that way it'll allow anyone to ask question or raise anything that might be worth including.
Sorry Claudia, thinking out loud here : )
Very nice, Grimmly. You have indeed put together a veritable storehouse of asana wisdom :-)
This reminds me of a story Doug Swenson (David Swenson's brother) once half-jokingly related at a workshop. He said that with every generation of new technology, we use the new technology to store information or knowledge, just like you are now using the web/your blog to store this knowledge. But sooner or later, another newer technology will appear, and unless one tirelessly keeps transferring info from one technology to another, the info will be lost sooner or later, because the newer generation of users will not know how to operate the older technology (for example, there are kids these days who do not even know that VCRs existed). So, Swenson concluded, the most reliable way of preserving is probably the old-fashioned method of carving drawings on stone walls. At least these will be found by archeologists some day :-)
I see that I'm not doing a very good job of delivering the punch of Swenson's story/joke. But this might be something you want to think about, a super-long-term project, maybe? ;-)
