A Yoga Classic
The yoga classic Light on Yoga outlines the history and philosophy of yoga. One definition of Yoga is it’s the “true union of our will with the will of God.” In fact there is a lot about God or the Universal Spirit in the introduction. There is much in the ethical teaching that corresponds with the Christian faith. It’s been suggested that Jesus spent time in India. After reading this, I wondered if that might be true.This is not to say yoga is a religion. It’s not. It’s a science of all religions. Or to put more clearly it is a way of living, thinking and behaving. If you’re interested in deepening your practice or looking for a way of improving your life this is an inspiring guide.Light on Yoga is written by B.K.S. Iyengar, who is considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world.His purpose is to “describe as simply as possible the asanas (postures) and pranayamas (breathing disciplines) in the new light of our own era.” And it explains 592 photographs and 200 asanas with clear instructions and the benefits of each pose.It also outlines the eight limbs or stages for yoga for the quest for the soul.1. Yama (universal moral commandments)2. Niyama (self purification)3. Asana (posture)4. Pranayama (rhythmic control of the breath)5. Pratyahara (emancipation of the mind…)6. Dharana (concentration)7. Dhyana (meditation)8. Samadhi (state of super consciousness…)Yoga can be transform your life by just practicing regularly. Your views on food and health and spirituality will begin to change for the better. It’s not a surprise that yoga has exploded in the United States.This is an amazing reference for your body, mind and soul.

Has the best appendices I’ve ever seen in any Yoga book
From http://booktalksbyjulie.blogspot.com/ – One of my great passions in life is yoga and even though a lot of other activities have been put on hold during my pregnancy, yoga has been a lifesaver. If anyone has any type of condition and/or just wants a deeper understanding of the yoga poses, âLight on Yogaâ is highly recommended. It is broken down into three sections. The first section as an introduction to yoga, starting with its origins in India and going through the transitions yoga has experienced.The second section is a dedicated to the yoga poses and covers each one in detail with photographs and step-by-step instructions of how to reach the pose. What I liked most about this section is the inclusion of the benefits of each pose, the ailments that can be helped by that pose, and the precautions of the pose.The last section is dedicated to describing yoga breathing and the concept of Pranayama. I will admit that this is my least referenced section of the book but it covers the techniques of breathing, its effects on the body, and how to maintain it through your practice.Most of the time, I donât reference appendices much. But that is not the case with âLight on Yogaâ. The two appendices include a list of sequences that the poses can be performed in and the second appendices recommend specific poses for specific disease and conditions. This is what makes the book so different from all the other yoga books out there.âLight on Yogaâ is a great reference for anyone that wants to experience yoga the correct way and I highly recommend referencing it.

Love this book
This is my third or fourth copy (I keep lending it out and never getting it back, because people love it so much I tell them to keep it). Iâve been using this book since I was 15, and many, many years later, it is still a favorite.

Esse livro mudou a forma com que eu via o yoga e a prática. Muito boa a introdução no começo e o curso intensivo de 300 semanas no final é apenas tudo na minha vida.
