K. V. Desikachar, was a modern-day yoga teacher, whose father was the Indian yoga teacher, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. The style of Hatha Yoga that he teaches is called Viniyoga. Early yearsDesikachar was born in Mysore and moved to Madras (now Chennai) in the early 1960s. He had trained as an engineer, but, inspired by his father's teachings, he abandoned his engineering career and became a student of his father in 1960 even though it was at a time when the practice of yoga didn't have the respect it enjoys today. From the 1970s onwards he taught extensively in many parts of the world and published many books which became best sellers, with the result that his name and teachings became known worldwide. Education in YogaDesikachar is known for his incomparable ability to demystify yoga teachings and also for his pioneering work in the area of wellness and yoga therapy. During his intensive thirty years of study with his teacher, he learned the practice and application of all the tools of Yoga, including chanting, so as to be able to help people therapeutically, live their everyday life better and more productively, and evolve spiritually. He also studied in depth many literary works including the Vishnu Sahasranama, Bhagavad Gita, Vishnu Purana, hymns of the great Vaisnavite saint Vedanta Desika, the Yoga Rahasya of Nathamuni, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Yajnavalkya Samhita, Yoga Taravalli, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. This long period of study is why Desikachar’s teaching so closely represents the complete tradition of his father.[1][2].[3] Teaching careerDrawing on his father's teachings, Desikachar went on to develop Viniyoga[4], a term from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This highly individualised approach tailors the practice to each student's specific physical and mental condition, emotional state, age, cultural background, and interests. It claims to be holistic, with all practice aspects aligned with the Yoga Sutras.[4] The Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM)In 1976 TKV Desikachar with A. G. Mohan founded the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM), a yoga therapy clinic and yoga center in Madras, India, as a non-profit public charitable trust, teaching yoga inside India. Under Desikachar’s leadership, the KYM offered teacher training and individual instruction in asana, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, and Vedic chanting, as well as pioneering research into the impact of yoga on people suffering from schizophrenia, diabetes, asthma, and depression. KYM also has the SIRO (Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) recognition awarded by the Department for Scientific and Industrial Research, Government of India. The institution is a public registered charity, identified by the Department of Family Health and Welfare, by the Government of Tamil Nadu.[3] The Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation (KHYF)Because the KYM had been primarily set up with legal and statutory provisions to operate only within India, barring it from any activity outside India, TKV Desikachar and his son & student, Dr. Kausthub Desikachar, in 2006 founded the Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation also known as KHYF, a partnership firm located in India.[5]This was done to spread the teachings of Viniyoga® globally, as the tradition by then had many international students all over the world. The Krishnamacharya Healing & Yoga Foundation (KHYF) currently claims to be the worldwide headquarters, the anchor and official umbrella organisation representing the Viniyoga® tradition of Professor T Krishnamacharya and Desikachar globally. The KHYF also has copyrighted Viniyoga® in India and European Union. [6] FamilyHis wife, Menaka Desikachar, teaches yoga and Vedic chanting at KHYF. Bushan Desikachar, Dr. Kausthub Desikachar and Mekhala Desikachar are his three children. Dr. Kausthub Desikachar is also the Chief Executive and a senior teacher and yoga therapy consultant at KHYF. He was earlier also the Executive Trustree of the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram till 2012. TKV Desikachar was one of the founders and directors of the institute.[7] In 2012, Kausthub Desikachar stepped down from Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram and the Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation after sexual misconduct allegations.[8]These allegations were dropped by the authorities following the absence of any formal legal proceedings arising from the original allegations. DeathDesikachar died on 08 August 2016 in Chennai, India at the age of 78.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/Poses-and-postures/article14558639.ece |title=Poses and postures|publisher=The Hindu News |date=2010 |accessdate=2010-04-20}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.kym.org/about-kym/ |title=Pioneering work in the area of wellness through Yoga |publisher=KYM |date=2016 |accessdate=2016-02-12}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.dayananda.org/kym-yoga-retreat-july2017.html |title=A Residential Yoga Retreat at Swami Dayananda Ashram - Rishikesh |publisher=Dayanand.org |date=2017 |accessdate=2017-07-12}} 4. ^1 {{cite journal |url=https://www.yogajournal.com/lifestyle/meet-the-innovators-t-k-v-desikachar |title=T.K.V.
