Guruji

Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient system of Yoga believed to have its origins in a sacred Yogic text referred to as the Yoga Korunta. It is this method that Sri T. Krishnamacharya taught Sri K Pattabhi Jois when he was a youth. After receiving the blessing of his Guru to teach Ashtanga Yoga, Guruji spent 70 years of his life teaching the method in South India. Guruji’s grandson R. Sharath is currently the director of the school that he built through seven decades of teaching. More information about the practice and a list of teachers authorized by the Sri K Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute to teach can be found here: KPJAYI.
