Krishnamacharya was a renowned Indian yoga master, Ayurvedic healer, and scholar who modernized yoga practice and whose students&mdash;including B. K. S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois, T. K. V. Desikachar, and Indra Devi&mdash;dramatically popularized yoga in the West. This personal tribute to the father of modern yoga, Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888&ndash;1989), is written by one of his longtime disciples, a well-respected yoga teacher and yoga therapist in his own right.<br><br>A. G. Mohan draws on his own memories and notes, and on Krishnamacharya&rsquo;s diaries and recorded material, to present a fascinating view of the man and his teachings, and of his own warm and inspiring relationship with the master. It&rsquo;s a valuable read for all yoga students, and an essential one for all experienced yoga teachers and yoga therapists who want to understand the source of their tradition and practice.
