Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois has left the body 2:30 pm (India Standard Time) on May
18, 2009. Pattabhi Jois, born July 26, 1915, is widely known as a master teacher
of hatha yoga, teaching under the name of Ashtanga Yoga, a term that -- prior to
Pattabhi Jois' modification -- has historically referred to the eight rungs of
Yoga as outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. He will surely be missed by
many thousands of followers and practitioners of his version of hatha yoga
throughout the world.
