About the Business
Krishnamacharya spent the first part of his life studying Indian philosophy, Ayurveda and Yoga. His thirst for knowledge led him to study at the great centres of learning and to seek out teachers who could transmit the vast wisdom of the ancient sages. Hearing of a great Yoga teacher in Nepal Krishnamacharya went in search of him. Walking all the way to Mount Kailash he found the sage in his cave dwelling. Sri Ramomohan Brahmachari accepted Krishnamacharya as a student and he remained in the mountains studying Yoga for more than seven years. Sri Ramomohan requested that Krishnamacharya marry, have children and teach Yoga. After some time Krishnamacharya became the Yoga teacher of the Maharaja of Mysore and a place was also made available for Krishnamacharya to run a Yoga school. During this period Krishnamacharya taught B.K.S. Iyengar and Patabhi Jois who went on to become world famous Yoga teachers. The Yoga school was closed in 1947 and Krishnamacharya and his family moved to Chennai.
