In
1928, when Tirumalai Krishnamacharya left the Himalayas
after studying for eight years with his teacher,
Yoga was a dying art practiced by a handful of ascetics
living on the fringes of society. But this was soon
to change. For the next sixty-one years, Krishnamacharya
shared his knowledge of Yoga as a holistic healing
discipline with thousands in his own country and
with many others who came to study with him from
Europe and America. He started a quiet revolution
that revitalized Yoga for the modern age and produced
some of the most influential Yoga masters of our
time, all of whom were his students: TKV Desikachar,
Indra Devi, BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. |

Son
and student of T Krishnamacharya, TKV Desikachar
is one of the most respected yoga teachers of modern
times. He is considered to be one of the leading
healers of our times and the torch bearer of his
father’s teachings in the current generation. To
share the rich teachings of his father, he founded
the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram(KYM), a non-profit
yoga and healing centre in Chennai, India in 1976.
Today this centre has become a place of pilgrimage
for yoga students from around the world. In 2006,
he and his son Kausthub Desikachar created the Krishnamacharya
Healing and Yoga Foundation, in order to bring support
and a sense of community to the growing number of
students and teachers around the world who wish
to preserve and transmit his father's teachings. |
