Philosophy
The Tree of Yoga
by B.K.S. Ivengar
This book was the forerunner to Iyengar's new classic
text Light on
Life. Like the new book,
this book explores the ways that yoga can reach deeply
into your life, helping you to be healthier and happier.
Drawn
from lectures and classes Iyengar gave in the early and
mid eighties this book is truly, "in his voice" and
is as close as one can come to receiving the teaching directly,
without actually seeking him out. Since most of the chapters
are short it is the sort of book that is easy to look at
a little at a time. The scope is wide ranging and is sure
to inform your practice and your life. Areas covered include
yoga in all stages of life including, love, marriage and
family life, yoga and health, the yoga sutras, meditation
and teaching yoga. For anyone interested in the philosophy
of yoga and the thoughts of a man who has influenced the
growth of yoga in the West for the past 50 years this book
is a valuable resource. |
