Sri Pattabhi Jois

Sri K. Pattabhi Jois,
founder of Ashtanga Yoga, passes away at age 94

Along with B.K.S. Iyengar and T.K.V. Desikachar, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois can be credited with carrying along the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, who is largely regarded as the founder of modern yoga practice. Jois was one of the most prominent figures in yoga, having taught thousands of students over decades as the founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India (known today as the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute). Many of his students are now among the most well-respected teachers in the West today.

Please keep Guruji and his family in your thoughts and meditations. You will be missed, Guruji!
