Yoga master TKV Desikachar passes away

The Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram trust in Chennai was founded in 1976 by Desikachar as an ode to his father's teachings. An international memorial meeting to honor him will be conducted later in the year, the Trust said.



In the 60s and 70s, when yoga was practised only by a small section of people, even in India, T.K.V. Desikachar quit his job as an engineer and embarked on a journey in yoga. In 1976 he founded Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) which “revolutionised the yoga practice in the country,” Kausthub Desikachar, co-founder of Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation said.
