"What Yoga Therapists Should Know About the Anatomy of Breathing" Click here for a PDF Version
This article was based on the "Yoga and the Breath" chapter of my book "Yoga Anatomy."It contains the most complete treatment to date of the details and principles behind my approach to breath anatomy.
June 2006, Yoga Journal: Ask the Expert
I was invited by YJ’s former executive editor, Mary Bolster, to write responses to on breathing-related questions. This was one of the last pieces Mary worked on before relocating to New York to become the new Editor-in-Chief at Natural Health Magazine. It was a pleasure working with Mary, and I look forward to doing so again in the future.

The Case for the 3-D Diaphragm
This is a rough draft of some material I've been working on for the past couple of months. It is written in a somewhat technical style that presupposes a certain level of anatomical knowledge in the reader. It can be viewed as a follow-up to the discussion of Breath Flow archived on e-Sutra.

Leslie Kaminoff Interviews T.K.V. Desikachar in Madras, October, 1992
This is an amazing interview in which Desikachar and I talk about a wide range of subjects, including the relationshop between Yoga and Hinduism, the view of ego in Yoga, the difficulty in preserving tradition, Patanjali's view on the inevitability of suffering, and the future of Yoga in America.
e-Sutra, April 1999
National Yoga Certification Debate
This is the first, longest, and most important e-Sutra thread. It's the whole reason I started the list. What we do or don't do about this process will affect the teaching of yoga in America for the next several generations....and the clock is ticking.
e-Sutra, November 2001
Breath Flow in Yoga Practice
This is an excellent thread that contains lots of valuable technical information about breathing styles in various traditions of Yoga practice. It was initiated by a query from Mukunda Stiles. The dialogue turned into a challenging re-evaluation of some of breathing’s “sacred cows.”
