This is a video made in 1938 showing the Great yoga teacher demonstrating asana and pranyama. He was the teacher of BKS Iyengar and Sri K. Pattahbi Jois, founder the Astanga style of yoga. The film is so old that any claim to copyright has expired.
I thought that Patabhi Jois is not the founder of Ashtanga. He rediscovered it (made it popular) but it is an ancient form of Yoga. It is Iyengar that is a new form, founded by funnily enough, BKS Iyengar. Therefore, the demonstrated technique is probably Ashatanga. Correct me if I am wrong.

Almost all of these seem possible for someone who's not incredibly young and agile. Nice.

Is this silent so we can't hear the swami farting? Posturing tends to expel the miasmas, n'est pas?
