Krishnamacharya found an ancient text named "Yoga Korunta" and asked Pathabbi Jois to work on it. This text is the base of ashtanga yoga. So Jois didn´t invented Ashtanga yoga. >He teaches only asanas because the westerners who are the paying customers for ashtanga aren't interested in the other 7 limbs -- myself included. If people would pay for it, he'd teach the other 7 limbs, too. Sad to know Jois compromise his practice to what makes money. I know many yoga teachers who prefer to have a main income for living from other source than yoga, but they are commited to transmit the 8 limbs of yoga in the way they were taught.
