Viniyoga...what IS that?

Yeah, seriously.

According to the American Viniyoga Institute it's a trademark name for the comprehensive yogic pathways (asana, pranayama, bandha, sound, chanting, meditation, personal ritual and study). The prefixes vi and ni plus yoga is an ancient Sanskrit term that implies differentiation, adaptation and appropriate application. From what I understand (shh) it was created by Gary Kraftsow whose approach evolved from the teachings transmitted by T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar of Madras, India.
