Bishnu Charan Ghosh

Annual yoga championships in Los Angeles are named the Bishnu Charan Ghosh Cup in his honour.

[2] Yogananda introduced Ghosh to yoga at his Ranchi School for Boys in Bengal, where he was one of the first seven pupils.

As well as Yogananda's set of 84 "Yogoda" asanas gathered from different sources, his brother taught him the abdominal muscle isolation exercise traditionally used in hatha yoga as the purification (shatkarma) known as nauli; Yogananda had used the exercise to impress Western audiences with his muscle control.

[2] Bishnu's muscle control was strongly influenced by Yogananda's Method Yogoda, as described in his 1925 book on that subject,.

[1] It has been stated that Ghosh also influenced the development of Sivananda Yoga's sequence of 12 basic asanas.
