Light on Yoga: The Bible of Modern Yoga - Its Philosophy and Practice - By the World's Foremost Teacher

If you’re going to buy a book on yoga 🧘, this is IT. 💯 LEGIT.

Very good delivery from the US and a fine US published edition of the Iyengar classic. I had a copy for years but loaned it out and ... well. If you're a beginner I'd recommend starting with poses that are comfortable for you and not straining, then gradually with daily practice extend your routine as you become able. Lots of good information and examples on Youtube too. I think yoga is a perfect adjunct to mindfulness training and should replace competitive sports in schools as a sane basis for lifelong physical well-being. But that'll never happen!

This is the bible of yoga ever written. Thorough understanding of the practical side of practising yoga. One could definitely become a teacher for yoga after practising it following this book. Excellent information about the practice of yoga. Recommended for everyone who would like peacefulness in their mind and surroundings.

I am happy to not have listened to the bad reviews. This book is excellent. It goes so deeply with the correct stands for the asanas. Thats what i was looking for. Only for advanced users? I dont think so. I have added some pics to prove that it covers also the "basics". A book will never be a substitute for a teacher. If you are totally new to yoga, is possible that this book will not tell you much. But thats because you dont know what you are looking at.

It is ok. The edition is not very good but I do not complain because it was cheap. For the price nothing better could be expected. I had the last edition which was very elegant, the paper was very good quality but the printing was so soft (almost in light grey) that it was very difficult for me to read. In this respect the one I have just bought is better for me. Thanks a lot. By the way, I cannot understand why it takes so long to deliver .... shame .... Regards, patricia

Thought me stretching massages internal organs and can even fix bones as the body is a bag of chemicals

a complete introduction to the philosophy and practice of Hatha Yoga...not just the callisthenic aspect. It contains a number of courses designed by BKS Iyengar to suit your commitment. And best of all a section on using specific Asanas and combination of Asanas to promote recovery from a wide variety of aliments. Great book.

great book, fast delivery thanks

Good book for yoga.

Ottimo libro per apprendere le basi del Vinyasa Yoga e non solo secondo il maestro Iyengar. Nel libro ci sono tutte le immagini delle asana, anche delle varianti, e sono spiegate ciascuna con il loro significato e indicazioni per la loro esecuzione. Non propriamente per neofiti.

Love this book

Esse livro mudou a forma com que eu via o yoga e a prática. Muito boa a introdução no começo e o curso intensivo de 300 semanas no final é apenas tudo na minha vida.

Perfect t
