In this weekly column, our founder and teacher Sri TKV Desikachar answers questions on different aspects of yoga. Features here are excerpts from Darsanam, a quarterly magazine that was brought out by KYM between 1991-1995.

What type of people are best suited to the practice of yoga?
 
Anybody who is alive, can practise yoga. We see it here at KYM. Here children who can hardly walk are brought in by their parents. Hatha Yoga Pradipika specifically says, "Yoga can be prac­tised by the young, old, very old, the sick and the weak. Of course this must be under the guidance of a competent teacher."
