Krishnamacharya: His Life and Teachings is a book by A. G. Mohan with Ganesh Mohan[1]. The book is a tribute to "the father of modern yoga," Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888–1989). Krishnamacharya was a renowned Indian yoga master, ayurvedic healer, and scholar who modernized yoga practice and whose students—including B. K. S. Iyengar, Indra Devi, K. Pattabhi Jois, and T. K. V. Desikachar—dramatically popularized yoga in the West.
In this book, A. G. Mohan, a personal student of Krishnamacharya for almost two decades (1971–1989), draws on his own memories and Krishnamacharya's diaries and recorded material to present a fascinating view of the man and his teachings.
