Krishnamacharya: The Teacher of our Teachers

7 comments:

  1. Krishnamacharya is credited with teaching many of the well known teachers in the United States today. He was the father and teacher of TJV Desikachar, who was the teacher of my teacher, Mark Whitwell. What are your thoughts on this demonstration?

  2. Ummm - I'm not sure what to say. The guy is amazing, but the white things on his head make him look almost evil.....and some of the bandha stuff is so intense it is almost creepy! But it must work - he is certainly physically fit! Love how he just "flips" his legs into the Lotus position - I can't even coax my legs near there!
