The First Tribute in America



A historic treasure- this should be required viewing for every yoga teacher training
This film is a treasure. A wonderful tribute and education about Sri T Krishnamacharya considered by many to be the father of modern yoga. If you are a dedicated yoga teacher or student, watching this film is a must. There is so much history and rare footage that is shared here. It is really inspiring to see teachers like Larry Payne, Gary Kraftstow and Vasant Lad in this footage shot nearly 30 years ago. I took it as a call personal to action to deepen my own practice, discipline and devotion towards authenic teachings and lineage. This should be required viewing for every yoga teacher training.

A Treasure
A treasure. This DVD of historic footage in tribute to Krishnamacharya is priceless. The homage is through the voices of some of his most illustrious students. The rare footage of the still vibrant Indra Devi alone is worth the price. And, there's Desikachar expounding on the trajectory of his father's Yoga, including a routine Krishnamacharya designed for harried businessmen late in his life. Plus: bonus, a young, thin Gary Kraftsow doing jump thrus at Desi's behest. An absolute treat.

Where it all began
The video takes us to the roots of yoga in the west. An essential for the study of yoga by serious students.
