Vanda Scaravelli was an unusually inspired and inspiring woman who came to yoga relatively late in life, but through her own explorations realised something so simple that it is almost impossible to grasp - the force of gravity is the very thing that supports us upright, and that if are balanced, the wave of the exhale elongates the spine.
So is that Scaravelli yoga? Vanda would have been horrified to hear of such a thing, because to turn it into a method is to miss the point entirely.
a little about Vanda
Vanda was taught directly by Sri B.K.S. Iyengar (Iyengar yoga) for very many years, and later on she also took to heart the teachings of T.K.V. Desikachar (Vini yoga), as well as being a friend of and receiving spiritual advice from Sri J. Krishnamurti. These truly respected teachers, as well as the great Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (proponent of Ashtanga Vinyasa), had all themselves been instructed in the ways of yoga by Desikachar’s father and guru, Sri T. Krishnamacharya.
