Instruction
Light on Yoga
by BKS Iyengar
This is the seminal book
on yoga postures. It is the book that everyone learned from.
If you are serious about the physical postures you will love
this book. If you are just curious about the range of what
is possible this book is where you will find it. If I could
only have one book on yoga asana this would be the book I
would want.
Why all the hype? BKS Iyengar, a true master of
asana, demonstrates all the common poses and a huge variety of variations in
more than 600 photos, but he does not stop there. He gives detailed instructions
for getting into the poses, getting out of the poses, what to expect while in
the poses and more. He details the benefits of each pose and suggests what poses
are curative for what ailments. This book is a tremendous resource, unmatched
in the field. Helpful chapters on pranayama, bhandas and kriyas, plus explanations
of important mudras are also included.
The suggested companion poster to this book is
