Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation
Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation (KHYF) was founded on 29th August 2016 [1] by T. K. V. Desikachar and his son Dr.Kausthub Desikachar. It is an international organisation, based out of Chennai, India.
Yoga and Healing[edit]
The word ‘healing’ comes from the same root as ‘whole’ and ‘holistic’. It is about becoming complete, whole. When we suffer trauma, we often, as it were, cut part of our self off, or suppress part of ourself, in an effort to cope or to avoid further pain. This is why yoga can be such a wonderful tool for healing, as it can call on practices which involve the whole of us: body, breath, and mind, as well as looking at lifestyle. So people can be guided to become more self-aware, to accept and love fellow humans.
Viniyoga[edit]
Viniyoga is a very ancient Sanskrit word used in the Yoga Sutras, which means ‘application’, or ‘appropriate use’. It has come to be used to describe the teachings of Professor T Krishnamacharya, his son TKV Desikachar, and his grandson Kausthub Desikachar follow and give importance to the practice and individual by taking all aspects of a user into account while teaching them. They also have elaborated how an individual’s needs change through their life, and how yoga has appropriate tools for all these needs.
Classical yoga Training[edit]
Classical yoga teacher training helps students understand and learn how to teach Yoga to groups as well as individuals for maintaining general health, well-being and spiritual orientation.
Yoga Therapy Training[edit]
Yoga Therapy training was systematized first in 2005-2006 by Dr. Kausthub Desikachar, under the guidance of TKV Desikachar, focusing on Yogic Anatomy, Yogic concepts of health and disease, integration with traditional systems like Ayurveda, understanding core Yoga Therapy Tools from an energetic and subtle anatomy perspective and many other such unique features form a strong basis for this unique training.
Social responsibility[edit]
KHYF partakes in various measures to bring Yoga workshops to teach handicapped children, the LGBTQ community to support social causes.
