In this episode I spoke with Dr. Kausthub Desikachar Founder of KHYF International and Co-Founder of Viniyoga Pte Ltd, son of T.K.V. Desikachar and grandson of the father of modern day yoga Sri. Tirumalai Krishnamacharya about why he thinks Yoga is not taken seriously today.

With the past paced nature of the commercial world, the billion dollar industry of yoga is also seemingly becoming among the fast consumables. In my conversation with Kausthub (my classical yoga teacher's son) we talked about a need for higher standards and boundaries for yoga educators and schools. BUT not how some of today's Western Gurus are thinking. In this conversation he shares on:

*Cultural Misappropriation of yoga

*Lost connection to the roots of yoga

*The commercialization of yoga

*The cons of doing short intensive 200 hour yoga teacher training programs

*The selection process of Viniyoga school for its teacher training program

*What it was like to claim his own position within the Krishnamacharya Tradition
