Interview with TKV Desikachar

“People are looking for a panacea for their health problems. My father was able to reduce the physical suffering of several people. This system cannot give you any instant remedy. But, it can provide slow but steady relief…”

This is a quote from TKV Desikachar, son of one of the greatest yogis of the modern era, T. Krishnamacharya. It was excerpted from a wonderful interview on Chennai Online. You can read it in its entirety here. You can also view video excerpts here.

Desikachar is the founder of the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) in Chennai, India. KYM offers holistic healing to anyone seeking relief from problems of the mind, body, emotions, and the soul. As a trainee of the Healing Yoga Foundation, I hear a lot of wonderful stories about KYM and the healing that takes place there. The stories remind me of how, as yogis in America, we fail to recognize the power of the practice of yoga.

You can get a taste of what you’re missing in this interview with Desikachar. Enjoy!
