Blurb:
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) is often referred to as the father, or grandfather, of modern yoga. His innovations in yoga āsana, the international success of his students and importance placed on the idea of lineage within modern yoga has resulted in many yoga teachers citing him as their teacher’s teacher or, at least, a significant source of inspiration.
