Krishnamacharya

Here is a personal tribute to the father of modern yoga Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) 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--including B. K. S. Iyengar K. Pattabhi Jois T. K. V. Desikachar and Indra Devi--dramatically popularized yoga in the West. <p/>In this book the author A. G. Mohan a well-respected yoga teacher and yoga therapist draws on his own memories and Krishnamacharya'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.
