Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (18/11/1888 to 28/02/1989)
Remarkable scholar, yogi, teacher and healer. Considered by many as the father of modern yoga. Volumes have been written about him and his main students that have influenced in many ways most yoga classes in the world today.
He was born 137 years ago today. Judging by what is written about him his main contribution was in the realms of Asana practice. In my opinion after almost 3 decades of studying and practicing yoga is that he was able to create a wonderful congruence between the many aspects of yoga practice grounded in a deep tradition and extensive knowledge.
