You can't mention Iyengar without talking about Pattabhi Jois, and Krishnamacharyra. In this episode, learn about BKS Iyengar's journey to yoga, his teacher and brother-in-law, Krishnamacharya, and his fellow student K. Pattabhi Jois. While both Krishnamachraya's students grew to be pioneers within their respective practices, both students have developed rather different methodologies when it comes to yoga asana. Join Sarah as she dives into the history of these modern yoga lineages while discussing the potential reasoning behind the various practices of Iyengar and Ashtanga Yoga.
