Krishnamacharya : The Life and Teachings

Here is a personal tribute to ‰ÛÏthe father of modern yoga‰_ Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888‰ÛÒ1989), written by one of his longtime disciples. Krishnamacharya was a renowned Indian yoga master, Ayurvedic healer, and scholar who modernized yoga practice and whose students‰ÛÓincluding B. K. S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois, T. K. V. Desikachar, and Indra Devi‰ÛÓdramatically popularized yoga in the West.

In this book, the author, A. G. Mohan, a well-respected yoga teacher and yoga therapist, draws on his own memories and Krishnamacharya‚Äö√Ñ‚àû_s diaries and recorded material, to present a fascinating view of the man and his teachings, and Mohan’s own warm and inspiring relationship with the master. This portrait of the great teacher will be a compelling and informative read for yoga teachers and students who truly want to understand the source of their tradition and practice.
