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.
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.
