The poster omits Sri BNS Iyengar. Also Sri KP Jois issued both Certifications and Authorisations (which started out as "Blessing to teach" letters). Maty Ezraty was Certified

A great try simplifying. Thank you for that. But unfortunately A good amount of incorrect information in your “lecture”

Totally love this.. certificates did not exist!!! I was given permission to teach by the "yoga master" at a studio forever ago in the 80s... Then got asked for a certificate shortly after 2005... Was an eye opener 😂

If we are drawing a lineage tree of modern postural yoga, there is a rather important name missing: T. Krishnamacharya. Both B.K.S. Iyengar and K. Pattabhi Jois studied under Krishnamacharya in Mysore. His students also included Indra Devi and, later, his son T.K.V. Desikachar. These teachers went on to profoundly influence what much of the world now recognizes as modern postural yoga. And that history makes our obsession with labeling students “advanced” based on asana even more interesting. Krishnamacharya’s teaching evolved considerably over his lifetime, particularly toward adapting yoga to the individual rather than forcing the individual into a predetermined practice. Desikachar carried that principle forward: the practice should fit the person, not the person fit the practice. So when we point across a modern yoga class and call the person doing the most complicated physical expression the “advanced student,” what exactly are we measuring? Flexibility? Strength? Anatomy? Years of practice? None of those necessarily tells us who has the deeper yoga practice. The student who takes a block, modifies, rests, breathes, or recognizes their body’s limit may be demonstrating something considerably more sophisticated than achieving the biggest shape. Asana can become more complex. That does not automatically make the yogi more advanced.

I’m so glad you put this up. I remember the conversation in CR with you and Tanya about this at the dinner table. So important and so interesting.

Thankful to hear Krishnamacharya mentioned, in the end, although not by name.
