Sri K Pattabhi Jois: In loving memory
May 19th, 2009 by Evolution Yoga
Evolution yoga honors Sri K Pattabhi Jois, the father of Ashtanga yoga who passed yesterday, May 18, 2009.
Guruji left his body at 5:45am (NYC time).
He will be missed by his many students around the world and will not be forgotten.
Jois was pivitol in bringing yoga to the West. His teacher, Krishnamacharya, transmitted ancient yoga teachings through Jois.”Do your practice and all is coming,” Jois said. “If we practice the science of yoga, which is useful to the entire human community and which yields happiness both here and hereafter – if we practice it without fail, we will then attain physical, mental, and spiritual happiness, and our minds will flood towards the Self.”
Namaste and love to his family.
Thank you to Patthabhi Jois for passing down the sacred gift of yoga to America.
