The subroutines are all done, a little over 80 of them, just have to title them all now add a few practice notes. Also need to add some basic Vinyasa Krama practice guidelines at the beginning of the book then it should be ready to be put up on Google docs for download, probably in a couple of days.
The idea is to have, the practice guidelines followed by the full sequences, that'll make up Part 1. Part 2 will have all the subroutines from the sequences divided up like the one over on the left. I'm going to add hyperlinks that will link to the video's on the sister blog and probably include a couple of notes for each sequence, thinking a text box below the sequence, couple of bullet points.
Just added a bunch of jump back routines, from the standard Vinyasa karma jump through to the half and full lotus as well as the straight, bent leg and leg behind head jump throughs, there's also a page on arm balances.
As I've said this is no substitute for Ramaswami's book but rather a mat book, something to give us a quick visual reminder of the running order of the sequences/subroutines, a book of cheat sheets..
Was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions, anything else they'd like to see included before I upload it. Was hoping to add the Ashtanga Primary series and use that as an example of how sequences can be linked together as well as some my own approaches to linking sequences,that might have to wait for the 3rd edition though. Thinking too about including Pranayama, the way of counting the rounds on one hand, pranayama mantrsa etc.
If you don't want to put your suggestions in the comments you can email me grimmly2007 and that's at google (.com)

It sounds wonderful as it is coming along!, I love the including of ashtanga too... sort of pointing to how they can interlink...
I think it is a great idea to have a mat referal, so I am all behind this, love the idea, and the execution!
Guess we talked about other things I would add like an intro... but that was privately
Grimmly, this is great. An enormous help for those of us with home practices. Thank you. Any chance of you putting together a Vinyasa Krama instructional video for the subroutines? If it was for sale I would definitely purchase it!
Thank you again!
If you can include a pranayama section It would be great and the counting on one hand just perfecto!
Grimily, what type of breathing do you do in Vinyasakrama? Ujjayi or normal deep breathing? I have watched some of your Vinyasakrma videos but couldn't tell.
An instructional video BTW, have thought about it or at least voice overs one the videos I've already done. Perhaps in the future if nobody else does it. Keep hoping somebody else will make one or film Ramaswami teaching.
Hoping to add the pranayama section tomorrow and planning on filming the hand count too.
Hi Savim, yes it is ujjayi, difficult for my little camera to pick it up, long slow ujjai with bandhas and nice steady posture is what we work towards.
Thank you Claudia, just mailed you.
