The book is therefore intended to support learning under supervision, but not to replace it. The focus of the text is on the synchronization of breath and movement (\u003ci\u003evinyasa\u003c\/i\u003e). The book is not a picture book. No variations of \u003ci\u003easanas are \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrated. The photos always show only the moment to which the \u003ci\u003edrishti\u003c\/i\u003e (the focal point) refers; only in the sun salutations the entire sequence is shown. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Still \u003c\/b\u003eis a long-time, dedicated practitioner of \u003ci\u003eAshtanga Yoga \u003c\/i\u003efrom Munich, Germany (www.ashtangamunich.com).
