Are There Any Enlightened Yogis?

A thought that keeps occuring to me, well it’s a question I guess. We all know about Iyengar, Pattabi Jois, Desikachar and so on in the current world of yoga and clearly non of them are enlightened. We also know something about Krishnamacharya and a few of past generations. We know that yoga is a spiritual science whose ultimate aim is union of divine consciousness in the human form.

 So where are the examples of someone who has through yoga, and I’m leaning heavily on contemporary ideas of yoga with a major emphasis on asana, where are the examples of those who realized the ultimate Union? I can’t think of any.

Maybe they are the kind of yogis who stay in their caves in the Himalayas and don’t make the journey to LA and international recognition. I wonder what they would think of the western yoga boom. In these times when I doubt there is a rock in India that hasn’t been looked under for such yogis, I wonder if there actually are any anymore?
