Description
The Yoga of the Yogi is a tribute to one of the greatest yogis of the modern era: Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, known as a “master of masters” In the early 20th century, when India’s traditional teaching was in danger of being lost, Krishnamacharya revived the ancient practice of yoga for the modern world. He was a yogi par excellence, a dedicated healer, a ferocious debater, a master of Indian philosophy, and a talented poet and author. The name of his most famous students – Indra Devi, Pattabi Jois, BKS Iyenger, and TKV Desikacharya- are today well known all over the world.
In the yoga of the yogis, Krishnamacharya’s grandson, K. Desikacharya provides unique insight into the life of Krishnamacharya. He shows that yoga is more than the asanas, or physical postures and in fact offers a wide range of tools for healing the entire human system. This book includes photographs and archival materials, many from the personal collections of Krishnamacharya’s family. For anyone interested in the heart of yoga, this book will become an invaluable resource.
