Ashtanga Yoga History

Ashtanga Yoga was popularized and introduced to the west by Sri K Pattabhi Jois, whose teacher was Sri T Krishnamacharya. The original text of Ashtanga Yoga, the Yoga Korunta, was recorded by the sage Vamana Rishi and was imparted to Krishnamacharya by his Guru Rama Mohan Brahmachari in the early 1900’s.
