As I've recently been learning more about the modern patriarch of yoga, Sri T. Krishnamcharya, I decided to dive into the Internet to see if I could track down translations of his longer writings, such as the Yoga Makaranda, Yoga Rahasya, Yogavalli, or Yogaasanagalu. Although my initial search proved fairly unfruitful, yesterday I happily discovered on one of my favorite yoga blogs that a translation of the Yoga Makaranda is now freely available for download.
