Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic Text
Cannot go wrong with this classic text.

I have used mine so much it is beginning to fall apart.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A classic must have
I may even say: The Yoga bible. Mr Iyengar gives precise and clear information on every pose. From alignment to health benefits of the practice.

Its great for all- Begginers and advanced Yoga practitioners

If you are interested in yoga, this book is one of the must have books in your collection.

It covers everything from the philosphy of yoga to an extensive range of asanas for your practice. The material is covered in great detail, including images as needed, Highly recommended as comprehensive and an invaluable reference for Hatha Yoga and to refine your practice and approach.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best on Authentic Yoga - Philosophy & Practice
I've been doing Yoga for almost 10 years (honestly, on and off) and recently I decided to Yoga sincerely to get rid of my backpain. My backpain vanished in 7 weeks completely and am feeling really vibrant! Earlier, I tried chiropractor / massages, it gave only temporary relief. Having realized that value of Yoga, I got intersted in knowing the philosophy as well as other asanas. During my research, most of the books and dvds I looked into are junk as they have commercialized and giving some substandard yoga. Finally, I've found this book to be the best and also validated with some authentic yoga masters. Thanks to the author who has presented this great ancient science of mind, body & soul and given it to the world in a practical format!

I also reccomend the following 2 books:
1)The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice by T. K. V. Desikachar (seminal book on Yoga)
2)The Sivananda Companion to Yoga (excellent for begginer/intermediate)
(Yoga 101 Essential Tips by Sivananda Yoga Center is also good)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Iyengar Yoga
Difinitive guide by Iyengar. Great for any level. Answers all questions on correct form and alignment. It's the "bible" of yoga.
