Soon we will toast to the life of Sri K Pattabhi Jois ~ a personality and teacher that was one of the few that pass through the world as bigger-than-life. We honor his memory with this gingko tree overlooking Yogasana, sacred & ancient, like the Astanga practice. And the engraved stone that will sit at its base:
Vande Gurunam Caranaravinde (I bow to the lotus feet of the Supreme Guru). His commitment to the system of Astanga yoga and to his teacher, Sri T Krishnamacharya, and his joy for the practice is his legacy.
