“Brahmachari’s school, supposedly a cave at the foot of Mount Kailash, where the master lived with his wife and three children. Under Brahmachari’s tutelage, Krishnamacharya claimed to have spent seven and a half years”

There must be something about living in a cave with a Yoga master or with teachings, as Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche did:

But who wants to spend the rest of his life in a cave and practice yoga and meditation? Great masters as Sri Brahmachari from Sri Brahmachari’s yoga school, who had a school in a Himalayan cave, and attracted such great students as Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. Unfortunately, Sri Brahmachari’s yoga school seems to have closed his doors, and does not teach students anymore.
