An incredibly important book for all practitioners and teachers.
This needs to be required reading for all teachers. Too many schools just run these teacher training money machines with little depth or scope, and consequently a ton of people out there call themselves teachers when their own practice is still in its infancy.Whether you just wish to find deeper meaning and understanding within your own practice or wish to teach, you need this book.Yoga practice is not meant to be the same daily repetition of sequence, nor is it meant to be the same for every student. It should wrap itself around the practitioner and few teachers approach it this way. Yoga is meant to be prescriptive. Bishnu Ghosh understood this as well. All true teachers do.This is beautifully written and a treasure trove of applicable wisdom. If I had to recommend one book on yoga it would be this, followed closely by Light on Yoga.

Meets all expectations
I liked the fact that yogic facts are presented in a scientific manner. Opportunities and reasons to modify practice based on oneâs desire are demonstrated. Satisfactory reading.

Interesting reading, and a source for lots of pithy quotes.
In reading this book, I was first taken by the interview at its beginning. I began bookmarking quotes for transfer to my personal noebook (taken to each class), and soon found myself with nearly every other page bookmarked! The quotes available in this book are outstanding. And not just in the interview section.There are many interesting points Desikachar makes in his approach to asana sequencing: the importance of breath, the importance of tailoring the pose (and the sequence) to the individual, the importance of resting before engaging in a counter pose.One of my favorite quotes from this book (attributed to the Mahabharata) isâSpeak the truth which is pleasant. Do not speak unpleasant truths. Do not lie, even if the lies are pleasing to the ear. That is the eternal law, the dharma.â To my mind this is much more practicable to practice than âAlways tell the truthâ.Another isâWe can never experience our real nature if we do not expose ourselves to changeâ. I take this as at once being both a caution in life style, and also in becoming too comfortable in oneâs yogic pursuits, including asanas and meditation.Then we get to âThe Yoga Sutra of Patanjaliâ with Translation and Commentary by T.K.V. Desikachar.âIf you tell a person who cannot find their own house that there is a pot of gold inside, they would be happier had they not had this information. What use is the gold if it cannot be found? It only causes pain. First they must find the house and enter it. Then there are many possibilities.âI take this to mean that everyone must start at the beginningâ¦everyone must find their own house [way, path].His views on dualism: (3.35 âThe mind, which is subject to change, and the Perceiver, which is not are in proximity but are of distinct and different characters.â as opposed to Reductionism are also presented in this book. This Dualistic approach is softened laterâThus the mind serves a dual purpose. It serves the Perceiver by presenting the external to it. It also respects or presents the Perceiver to itself for its own enlightenment.â leaving open the possibility of a more Reductionist interpretation.This section of the book is the one I shall most refer to in future.

Great book, a classic.
Great for beginners and more experienced. Explains breathing and so forth in a very clear manner. I love the translation and explanation of the sutras at the end of the book. Worth the price, right there!

I adore absolutely this book. For me, it’s the ACME of yoga books.This book lives by my bedside and comes out weekly for my private yoga lessons and solitary study. It’s so easy to read and understand, in under 250 pages, that any yoga student can benefit from it.It humbly and concisely emanates the essence of yoga for every body, everywhere; that if you can breathe, you can do yoga, and that, through adapting yoga practices for each person’s needs as they change from day to month to year, yoga can be a full life therapy for anyone. Wow. That blows my mind. Big Pharma can’t say that!Desikachar states clearly and methodically what yoga is, what it teaches, how to do it, and its benefits to body, mind and spirit, as taught to him by his own father Krishnamacharya (who also taught BKS Iyengar, the human rubberband!).It does it without ego or ceremony; without the alarming bodily contortions or religious diatribe that put so many people off; enough of the Sanskrit terminology to be accurate, but no more than necessary, illuminating and explaining beautifully the benevolent and deeply wise teachings of the sage Patanjali believed to be thousands of years old (Sutra included), in such a way that yoga can be seen for what it is: a timeless science for the fullness of human health, prevention of illness, peace of mind and happiness in the soul.The book demonstrates that asana/postures are only part of what Westerners think of as yoga, and puts them in their rightful place – as just one limb, but an important one – within the Eight Limbs of Yoga. There are photos of Krishnamacharya doing postures, but they aren’t mindbogglingly gymnastic, and there are illustrative posture sequences that most yoga students will recognise and can do at home.Please buy this if you’re curious about yoga. It’s so simple, erudite and brilliant. I think you’ll like it. â¤ï¸

This is an amazing book, I recommend it for anyone that wants to be initiated in the philosophy and the practice of yoga. I had read a few books before, some that were focusing on the physical aspect, others that were mainly interested in the philosophy and meditation but I find that this one has them all very well explained. It’s a must have indeed.
