Support is needed to operate and expand the hopefully already very informative content.
Donate for this work at https://www.betterplace.me/yogabuch-de
The content of this site has been created over the past few years with great personal commitment as a one-man project – in competition with earning a living – which cannot be sustained in the long term and with the planned next steps. There are still many pictures to be taken (step A) and videos to be made that address the poses and their adoption as well as specific issues. The relationship between the poses and the ailments, especially of the musculoskeletal system, should be further developed.
The next important step (B) is the completion of the English translation followed by, in the face of the short half-life of digital formats, the planned print versions (C) in German and English, accompanied by the corresponding e-books.
Only then can we think about filming all the necessary and helpful video instructions (D) that we have long since thought of.
As much of the information can only be understood by a specialist audience, a „non-specialist version“ is also being considered, which omits all anatomical and movement physiology explanations and provides the layperson with compact, comprehensible instructions for correct use. So far, there has been hardly any support or cooperation outside of the Yogaschule Ashtanga based in Essen, Germany (www.yogaschule-ashtanga.de) and a few others in the Ruhr region as well as the associated yoga teacher training (www.definite-yogalehrerausbildung.de).
In addition to donations, this is also required in the form of translation work, so if you have sufficient anatomical knowledge and can put this into context with the asanas, or can model poses or proofread, you welcome to contribute. Due to the large scale of the project, the above steps will probably certainly take years, but at all times the interested public will have full access to the latest information.
