Pattabhi Jois died on May 18, 2009 at the age of 93. He was the founder of the Ashtanga vinyasa yoga system, which is where I began with a dedicated practice. He was known for, of course, being a yoga master, and he was also known for his great sense of humor. I had the honor of being led through the primary series for a week by him. May his family be at peace and find great comfort at this time.
