I’m grateful to be one of the ten International teachers presenting in this free ten hour immersion, offered by my teachers on Zoom in Chennai on Sunday:

A Free day-long conference for all | Engage with our esteemed Viniyoga faculty from around the world!

TKV Desikachar, or Sir, as he was affectionally called, is one of the most important modern masters of Yoga. Apart from being the pioneer in bringing Yoga Therapy to the modern era, he was also instrumental in building bridges between Eastern and Western traditions of philosophy. His healing work touched thousands of people, alleviating their suffering. His contributions toward a clearer understanding of the Yogasūtra-s of Patañjali, and his innovation of stick-figures for representing the postures, have made Yoga accessible to millions around the world. He is also solely responsible for bringing forth the holistic and multidimensional teachings of his teacher, Yogācārya T Krishnamacharya. Together they formed a formidable team and revived the precious teachings of the Viniyoga tradition for the modern era! He is also the author of numerous books, including The Heart of Yoga, which continues to be a best-seller around the globe, and which has been translated into many languages.

Despite his many achievements, he remained humble and led a simple life. His humility and kindness touched the hearts of many and it is a fitting tribute that the International Day of Yoga is being celebrated on his birthday!

To show our gratitude to him, we have organized this event, called Honoring Sir | A Celebration of Viniyoga. The conference will be led by ten extraordinary Viniyoga faculty from around the world, who have been touched deeply by his presence and/or his teachings.

We heartfully welcome you all to participate in this day-long event! Come and celebrate this great man’s birthday with us!

The event will be live on www.facebook.com/TKrishnamacharya on 20 June 2021 from 9.15 am India Time onwards. This conference is free and has no cost to participate in.
