Krishnamacharya Yoga

Whenever people ask me the question, "Does yoga really help?", I always reply with an emphatic "Yes, it does". Then I go on to tell people how it changed my life. Till the age of 42 I used to be a bad asthmatic. Hospitalisation, steroids, and nebulizers were a way of life. After the complications of all the drugs and the stress on the body, I was hospitalized for close to 6 months. I had breathlessness, bp and a high heart rate. I was finding regular walking difficult. It was around this time that I met Mr. Desikachar, who took my pulse and told me not to worry and that I would be running in a few months, let alone walking. Over the next couple of months of yoga, my health improved dramatically and I did go back to jogging. Today I hardly even use the inhaler and many times I find that it's past its expiry date. It has given me great strength both physically and mentally . As a visiting design faculty in a few colleges I find my approach to teaching has changed after yoga . Somehow, my day feels incomplete without even a few minutes of yoga. And once I go through my session, everything changes for the better - the whole day ahead and even my outlook on life. I would recommend regular yoga practise to everyone as a key to good health.

It was a great honor to be Sir TKV Desikachar's and all his respectful students' disciple, who are still my teachers in KYM. I have learnt a great deal about Yoga, life and Tamil-N?du as well. ?an no astu dvipade, ?an catu?pade ?? Special thanks to R?jeshwari ?? and ?obhan?

What I like KYM is it treat indidually. As I went not to group class, but solve my health problem. Although they are not doctors but serve like doctors with yoga plus breathing prescriptions. Most importantly the prescription works. I also visit a decade ago and almost solved my VERTIGO problem. Last month I went for INSOMNIA plus some other problems. Insomnia almost gone. I keep on practising with the hope to solve other problems. Thanks to KYM team.

I enrolled myself in the year 2002, I had vertigo, claustrophobia, acidity, though i am not totally out of it but got immense help from the institution, it gives back your confidence in you and that too with so much care and patience

The only place you can trust your health and well-being with! I owe my healthy body and mind to the teachers of KYM. The place that taught me yoga to cure my ailments that I was suffering for many years. The place that gave back my lost youth and my LIFE back. I strongly recommend this place to you, if you are looking for a natural way of healing.

KYM is one of the few places where there are modern yogis working happily for others' wellbeing. There are no patients, everybody is considered as a student even the teacher who keeps learning all his/her life...the attitude makes a lot of difference. Humility is pervasive here. Yoga is adapted to the individual and not the other way round. That's how the yoga practiced here since 1976 is solely therapeutic.
