Yoga Wisdom & Practice
by
B.K.S. Iyengar |

|
This book is wonderful. It combines
all the best aspects of his previous works and weaves them
into one beautiful offering. The wisdom and personal voice
of Tree of Yoga and Light on Life are on
full display here, as are the attention to detailed asana
instruction of Light on Yoga and The Path to
Holistic Health. The design of the book is decorative,
colorful and richly textured, so it is a joy to flip through
and see.
There are 3 main sections. The first is Reflections
on
My
Life, where descriptions of poses meaningful to Iyengar are interspersed with
personal
reminiscences on his beginning in Yoga, gaining notoriety and facing the end
of
this
incarnation. This section is fascinating, inspirational and poignant.
Light on Daily Practice is next and this longest
section, close to 120 pages, starts out with basics like the definition of Yoga,
methods, a bit on the Sutras (again interspersed with instruction on appropriate
poses) and moves into deeper territory like The Thread of Intelligence, Evolving
as a Yogi and The Art of Teaching. Also, included here is a detailed section
on
pranayama and the bandhas.
The final 70 page section is A Yogic Approach to
Life where issues like Yoga for relaxation and overall health and ethics and
a stress free life are explored (again interspersed with detailed descriptions
and color photographs
of relevant practices).
Leave it to a Master like Yogacharya BKS Iyengar
to produce the first book to fully integrate the theory, practice and personal
experiences of Yoga in such an elaborate and beautiful way that is at once thoughtful,
thought provoking and deeply instructive.
This book has 256 pages and costs $25.00.
