Dr. T. A. Krishnan is widely regarded as the principal and most senior disciple of Guruji Dr. Asana Andiappan. From a very young age, he travelled across India with Guruji, actively spreading the message and practice of traditional yoga.

With more than six decades of dedicated practice, he has developed specialised therapeutic series rooted in classical yogic texts and has taught in respected academic and institutional settings. He has played a pivotal role in strengthening the Andiappan Yoga lineage, designing targeted asana sequences that address modern health concerns while remaining faithful to his guru’s original research and methodology.

In a time when commercial fitness trends often dilute traditional yoga, Dr. Krishnan serves as a vital guardian of Guruji’s legacy. He ensures that new generations of teachers are trained within the clear structural, therapeutic, and spiritual framework laid down by the Asana Andiappan College of Yoga.

Honoured as both “Master Mentor” and “Acharya,” Dr. Krishnan is recognised as an authoritative transmitter of the authentic therapeutic system established by Dr. Asana Andiappan. Over the years, he has trained thousands of yoga masters who now share this tradition with students around the world.
