Krishnamacharya
Yoga Mandiram, Chennai
Based in Chennai, south India, this institute teaches the viniyoga
brand of gentle yoga. The guru is T. K. V. Desikachar, an engineer turned
disciple of his father T. Krishnamacharya, a practitioner of holistic yoga. The
course has five elements of yoga including exercise, therapy, breathing, and
meditation.
From children to pregnant women, from stressed out
corporate executives to people in pain, thousands have sought the portals of
KYM over the years. No two people have been taught identically. In keeping with
Patanjali's philosophy, 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. This is quite simply, the Yoga of
T.Krishnamacharya. Carrying forth in his footsteps, holding aloft the banner of
this great teacher and his timeless legacy is the Krishnamacharya Yoga
Mandiram.
International
Programs
The KYM Institute of Yoga Studies
conducts short-term courses for groups and individuals from different countries
on a wide variety of Yoga related topics. These are highly individualized and
are designed to suit the needs of the visiting group or individual.
Intensive courses were initially offered to private groups from different parts of the world, when requested. From 1997, a one-month intensive covering the broad spectrum of asana, pranayama and dhyana as taught by T Krishna acharya was formally conducted every November. As demand for participation in this one-month intensive increased, the course began to be offered twice a year from 2002 onwards. An advanced two-week residential retreat is being offered once a year from 2002.
Apart from the programs offered by KYM Institute of Yoga Studies, we continue to organize and conduct programs for private groups on a wide range of themes upon request, apart from offering classes to individual students who desire private one-on-one lessons. This four-week program presents the principles of yoga, based on the teachings of Yogacharya Krishna acharya. This program is addressed to participants who desire to take up a serious study of Yoga with an ultimate aim of becoming teachers.
While there is a popular misconception that yoga means practice of certain postures only, the Yoga Sutra presents Yoga as a means to relieve one of pain and suffering The Yoga Sutra gives a multiplicity of tools including Asana, Pranayama and Dyana. This four-week program provides an insight into the rich and varied dimensions of yoga, its value as a timeless and universal philosophy, and its practical relevance.
The course will comprise six sessions every day (Monday - Friday only), which will include
