Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the West, following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century. This paper is a voyage through a legendary in Yoga, a yoga Grandma . V. Nanammal , who turned 99 , on 24 Feuary ,2018. She won the Padmasree this year for her mastery and contributions in the field of yoga. In March 2017, Nanammal was conferred the Nari Shakti Puraskar by former President Pranab Mukherjee on International Women‘s Day. Nanammal attempted to get on to the Guinness Book of World Records by teaching yoga to over 20,000 students and enthusiasts in Coimbatore .Her objective is to create awareness among women, mainly girl students, about yoga techniques by going to various educational institutions to solve several health-related problems, especially after marriage.. In this world, where we find excuses to push away our responsibilities and dreams, Amma Nanammal stands out as a true inspiration.
