K. Pattabhi Jois (26 July 1915[1] – 18 May 2009)[2] was an Indian yoga guru[3] who developed and popularized the flowing style of yoga as exercise known as Ashtanga vinyasa yoga.[a][4] In 1948, Jois established the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute[5] in Mysore, India.[6] Pattabhi Jois is one of a short list of Indians instrumental in establishing modern yoga as exercise in the 20th century, along with B. K. S. Iyengar, another pupil of Krishnamacharya in Mysore.[7][8][9][10] Jois sexually abused some of his yoga students by touching inappropriately during adjustments.[11] Sharath Jois has publicly apologised for his grandfather's "improper adjustments".[12]
Others on the list include "Swami Vivekananda, Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda, Swami Vishnudevananda, Swami Satchidananda, B. K. S. Iyengar, and Indra Devi."
