	Yoga Sanga - Surry Hills, Sydney, NSW
		Despite the popular use of the term viniyoga to describe the Yoga taught by Desikachar, viniyoga does not really refer to a "style" of yoga at all, and is certainly not used by Desikachar to describe his teachings as a style of yoga.
		Indeed, the concept of viniyoga may apply to the many different "styles" of Yoga, not just the Yoga taught by Desikachar and the KYM, so long as the practices are not standardized without consideration of their application to the needs of the individual (or group) and the situation.
		The Viniyoga of Yoga (2001) by TKV Desikachar with Kausthub Desikachar and Frans Moors is available in Australia from Yoga Sanga P/L. Michael de Manincor is a Yoga teacher and registered Counselling Psychologist, currently living and teaching in Sydney.

		The term Viniyoga has become associated with one such approach now known around the world, deriving from the teachings of TKV Desikachar, author of The Heart of Yoga.

		Viniyoga provides a methodology for creating an individualized yoga program (the tradition adapts postures to individuals rather than vice versa), and Kraftsow has been recognized for his ability to train teachers and therapists in this method.
		It is worthwhile to stress that the therapeutic applications are not isolated or stand alone examples but rather logically derive from the Viniyoga principles which are clearly, if succinctly presented in the first two chapters; Principles of Practice and Biomechanics of Movement.
		These explanations alone may be worth the price of the book for serious yoga students, for the Viniyoga principles are somewhat revolutionary from the perspective of many contemporary yoga practices in America.
