Dr Kausthub Desikachar's Inspirations

Most forms of yoga taught today is directly or indirectly connected to the yoga invented and taught by Yogācārya Śrī T Krishnamacharya, who believed yoga must be accessible by everyone irrespective of age, religion, nationality, caste or gender. His teachings created an enormous impression in the 20th century and created a huge difference in the world by raising millions of yoga practitioners and teachers. His contribution to the world is priceless and hence is recognised as the ‘Father of modern yoga.’

Śrī T Krishnamacharya was a legend who lived more than a hundred years, and his legacy was continued by his son Śrī TKV Desikachar who understood the power of his Father’s teachings and followed his footprints. He made the yoga teachings readily available and also developed numerous methods so that it is fully understood and remembered forever. He also became an author of many books that touched thousands of hearts, and this journey is upheld by his grandson Dr Kausthub Desikachar who is now the lineage holder of the VINIYOGA® tradition.
