This is a video of Krishnamacharya's Yoga. This is not to say that Krishnamacharya is the only one doing Yoga in the video or all his famous students appear in this video. It is all Yoga as taught by Krishnamacharya and illustrated by him and some of his students. His son Kausthub Desikachar might be the only living person that may have been there and could reliably identify everyone.
This part is Krishnamacharya, it's amazing the fluidity of his practice and the feeling of lack of ego. And that is not Indra Devi "yogaKayak" it's important to be sure before posting things as they can spread. Indra Devi was European heritage(ie. not ethnically Indian) and this lady is South-east Asian Indian heritage (sorry not saying this in best way) but she is another student of the teacher. And less well know to us int he West.
At 3:40 in this video,I believe it is Indra Devi that appears, who was one of Krishnamacharya's students and one of the first, if not the first woman to be taught Yoga. Prior to this Yoga was only taught to Brahman boys and men. The Maharajah that was supporting Krishnamacharya's Yoga Academy insisted that Krishnamacharya teach his friends daughter despite tradition.
I believe the woman in this video is Menaka Desikachar, TKV's wife.
