Desikachar's father, T Krishnamacharya, taught Pattabhi Joyce and B K S Iyengar. They were young boys and their teacher devised Yoga practice to suit their individual body type and energy.
TKV Desikachar, a former engineer-turned-Yoga teacher carries on his father's values which were brought down from the Tibetan mountains, that the individual comes first, and that there is only one Yoga. His son, Kausthub, agrees.
I entered their course as a typical Westerner, believing Yoga was only about asana. I emerged a different person, one who could see that much more through the eyes of Pantanjali and who could recognise Yoga as the holistic practice it is.
