KYM India

TKV The Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram was founded by T K V Desikachar, son and student of T Krishnamacharya in 1976. Starting his career as an engineer, TKV Desikachar was inspired by his father's teachings and became his student in the 1960's. He studied with Krishnamacharya for over thirty years. Today, TKV Desikachar is known and respected the world over as an authority on yoga. The Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram founded by him as a tribute to his father and mentor, is a government recognised Public Charitable Trust. If KYM is today established as a reputed institute of yoga both nationally and internationally, it is because the focus is not on making profit, but rather on spreading the message of yoga and the teachings of T Krishnamacharya. Since its inception, the KYM has always stood for quality teaching respecting the needs, interests, abilities and secular faiths of its students. The KYM has played a significant role in popularizing yoga as a holistic science that stems from a well founded theoretical basis, rather than as mere exercises for physical fitness. The focus of all activities at the KYM is that anyone who wants to can practice yoga, that is specifically suited to his or her needs, and experience its multiple benefits.
