Sri K. Pattabhi Jois was an astrologer and the founder of Ashtanga Yoga who practiced alongside Devi and B.K.S. Iyengar, who founded Iyengar Yoga. Jois took the teachings he received and turned them into a vinyasa style method, focused on breath and bandhas or energy locks, which was eventually called Ashtanga yoga, based on the 8 limbs of yoga, which go by the same word Ashtanga. Initially teaching out of his home, he eventually brought Ashtanga Yoga to the West in the 70s and over the years, Ashtanga grew exponentially. Jois wrote Yoga Mala.
