T. Krishnamacharya's knowledge was enormous and his expertise crossed many fields, including Yoga, Ayurveda, and Indian philosophical systems. Most of all, he was known as a healer and a wise spiritual master.
During the 101 years of his life, his dedicated teaching inspired thousands of practitioners around the world and through his students (including Indra Devi, B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and his son, T.K.V. Desikachar), this "Master of Masters" has played a vital role in shaping how Yoga is practiced and understood today.
