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.
Iyengar, K.
Pattabhi Jois, T.
Desikachar, and Indra Devi--dramatically popularized yoga in the West.
In this book, the author, A.
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.
