Krishnamacharya

Here is a personal tribute to "e;the father of modern yoga"e; Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (18881989), written by one of his longtime disciples. Krishnamacharya was a renowned Indian yoga master, Ayurvedic healer, and scholar who modernized yoga practice and whose studentsincluding B. K. S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois, T. K. V. Desikachar, and Indra Devidramatically 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 notes, and Krishnamacharyas diaries and recorded material, to present a detailed and fascinating view of the man and his teachings, and his 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.
