Krishnamacharya in 1938 with Yoga Sutras, Part 3of 6

Tirumalai Krishnamacharya was 50 when this film was made and is arguably the most influential yogi in establishing what yoga has become today. His students include Pattabhi Jois the founder of Asthanga yoga, BKS Iyengar, Indra Devi, and his son Desikachar. Most of todays leading yogis have studied under one or more of Krishnamacharya students. Krishnamacharya was born in 1888 in a remote Indian village and lived to be over 100 years old until his death in 1989. He is known as not only as a most influential yoga teacher, but a scholar, and a healer. Krishnamacharya was known to be able to voluntarily stop his visible heart beat/ pulse for over two minutes, probably by drastically reducing venous return to the heart.

This is part 3 of a 6 part series featuring Krishnamacharya and his yoga students. BKS is one of those students shown prominently in this section. YouTube only allows 10 minutes a clip so I had to break the original news piece up in 6 parts.

Namaste

@zokirjan1 Look at his technique then and look at his technique now. His practice has become infinitely better with time.

Don't forget, it was due to back problems accumulated as a young man he went on to develop a refined approach to asana.
