This book was primarily written for Yoga teachers and practitioners. I just loved reading this profoundly moving biography of legendary yogi Krishnamacharya. And I highly recommend this book to all Yoga enthusiasts. I have practiced Yoga since As this is the 25th year of my practice, I'm keen to up my game and take it to the next level. This wonderful book has inspired me and I'm grateful to have found it and read it. Desikachar, Krishnamachra's son and successor at his eponymous Yoga scho This book was primarily written for Yoga teachers and practitioners. Desikachar, Krishnamachra's son and successor at his eponymous Yoga school in Chennai, India, has done a tremendous service to the work of his father and to all interested in the ancient art of yoga in writing this book.

The author focuses on the ancient teachings practiced by his father, a yogic view of health and healing, going beyond the known as well as explaining the approach, and style of the true master teacher. Krishnamacharya helped pave and lead lead the way, along with his colleagues, his brother in law Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois, for modernizing, popularizing and globalizing Yoga. He considered Yoga to be India's greatest gift to the world.

Where is the conflict when truth is known? Where is the disease when the mind is clear? Where is the death when the breath is controlled?

Therefore surrender to Yoga. One of the best autobiography book of Krishnamacharya and one that doubles up as a foundation of building an understanding of yoga history and the bhagavad gita. I agree with other readers, this is an extremely touching account of the Krishnamacharya's life. I only wished that I had the privilege of being his student when he was alive. A must read for all those who want to have a glimpse of the man who was responsible for training B.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about Yoga. Apr 02, Susan Rydberg added it. Great book giving the explanations of the states of mind and the development of the yogi's path. Provides insight to the humanity of a great teacher. The inspiration of a healer and a teacher of the path of a seeker gives me motivation go to on as a student struggle to understand and learn.

Lots of food for thought. Jun 21, Kimz Zahour rated it really liked it Shelves: It's wonderful that Yoga has become so accessible. Can you imagine walking for days to find a guru to instruct you? Living in isolation during your education? And then giving whatever your guru demands of you as payment? Apr 25, Heather rated it it was amazing. A good overall view of what yoga is and biographical sketches of an influential teacher to many in the United States. This teacher looks above all at the therapeutic workings with individuals to promote better health.

I consider this as interesting as Autobiography of A Yogi, but this is focused more on Hatha Yoga than Kriya Yoga and may be more understandable to most people. This is one of my texts for yoga teacher training. There is so much wisdom packed into this book. And the writing is totally accessible to those who haven't taken yoga.

Sep 19, kyle rated it it was amazing. It is Desikachar who wrote Health, Healing and Beyond, shedding new light into the world and teachings of his father. Krishnamacharya had a surprisingly open approach to integrating yoga within other religious traditions:. In this connection, one of the most frequently asked questions is: Emphatically not — unless you are a Hindu and wish to raw closer to your religion. Yoga leads to the threshold of the Absolute. In fact, I am often asked to design meditations for devotees of other religions. I usually ask the students to get approval from their own spiritual advisors because it does seem odd, say, that a Hindu in Chennai creates a meditation for a Catholic who lives in Barcelona.

This is inspiring stuff, and Health, Healing and Beyond is a superb read for all practitioners of yoga. Click here to cancel reply. Welcome, Shalom and Namaste! Krishnamacharya had a surprisingly open approach to integrating yoga within other religious traditions: What do you think?
