My Vinyasa Yoga Practice Book now on Kindle


Not sure what to feel about this actually, more amused than anything else. Bit embarrassed too, noticed the 'product description' is a bit of a mess, they give you this tiny little dialogue box to write it in and I just threw it together the other day when I was off sick.

Perhaps I should leave it as it is, the whole book is in need of a major revision and edit anyway so perhaps the description is a fair reflection. After three months writing up the notes to the mornings sequence I was so fed up of writing about asana that I couldn't bear to look at it again.

I'll give it a month and see about submitting the revision so you might want to save yourself a couple of dollars and stick with the free pdf version over on the right of the blog.

Ashtangi's might find the subroutines useful as mini 'evening' practises (I've always done an extra bit of practice in the evenings whether it was working on Jump backs, Drop backs, a new posture or later Vinyasa Krama ), pick one with a pose your struggling with or working towards, the other postures in the subroutine acting as preparation or extension. They can also be useful as a tool chest of substitutions when faced with injury. Remember, these subroutines derive from Krishnamacharya, all part of the lineage.

You can of course download the Kindle app for the iPad and Kindle for you PC or Mac.

UPDATE

Have just noticed that Amazon now has one of their LOOK INSIDE/preview buttons.

Definitely having fun with this now.

Oh, Grimm. Demure, as always. Congratulations! Excellent work!

Claudia said...

Grimmly congratulations!!! I think the description can be changed, is it author central? amazon.com/authrorcentral, I believe that is where the info goes, it can be done fairly quickly too.

I have been looking over the free download of the third edition and found it VERY good.

Will get my copy on kindle too

So excited for you! and for all of us to have such a great resource

Thank you Megan, is kind of nice to see it up on Amazon's site, nice thing about ebooks, they do look all nice and shiny, kind of like the when they show old Black and White movies in a new print at the cinema, silver screen and all that.

Thank you too Claudia, have just set up the Author (snigger)central account but it takes a few days before I can do anything. Need to come up with an author (snigger again) bio, what have i got myself into Have managed to change the description a bit now on KDP so that should take effect in a few hours, bit tidier but will need to give it a proper think. Thanks again for all the encouragement to actually do it.

Cameras used

I've been asked which camera I use for the pictures and videos on this blog.

This year, 2011,
I'm using the SamsungWB210
from 2008-2009
Panasonic Lumix DCMFX-500

Both have a mega wide angle lens, ideal for getting the whole of a posture in a shot and while filming in a small room in lowish light.
I tend to film the vinyasa with the video function and then take screenshots.
I edit with Quicktime pro on my imac, compressing with the export for web feature to post on YouTube
