That yoga is part of the everyday lives of thousands of people around the world is due in large measure to the Indian healer and sage, Tirumulai Krishnamacharya. He was the preserver of the ancient wisdom and the rediscoverer of its lost teachings. Moreover Krishnamacharya adapted Yoga for modern life to offer practices that improve health, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. This lively biography of Krishnamacharya's life and techings also incorporates an incomparably lucid interpretation of ancient Yogic texts for modern readers. Also included in Health, Healing, and Beyond are historical and archival photographs of Krishnamacharya.
