A gorgeous book that would be good for any YTT or beginning yogi; lots of info， biographical， but tons of asana info。 Interesting to look at， even for me。

This text made me realize the importance of alignment in yoga。 I would often force myself into poses， with no awareness of alignment and how the pose should feel in my body。 Yoga without proper alignment is a complete blockage of energy。 I am still learning the wonders of proper alignment and will use the book for the rest of my practice。 In addition to in-depth alignment visuals， each infographic provides the benefits of each pose （digestion， mental clarity，etc）。

Excellent resource for my home practice and also teaching。 The photos and insights are timeless。 I found it was especially helpful on how safely get in， advance and get out of asanas。

Nice book especially during these times when I do not have a yoga teacher in person to nudge me into the correct position on a pose。 Lots of explanatory text， some of it I read and found useful， lots of it I ignored even though it's probably useful too。 Lots of photographs that are extremely helpful。 Very nice book to enhance regular yoga practices on your own。 Nice book especially during these times when I do not have a yoga teacher in person to nudge me into the correct position on a pose。 Lots of explanatory text， some of it I read and found useful， lots of it I ignored even though it's probably useful too。 Lots of photographs that are extremely helpful。 Very nice book to enhance regular yoga practices on your own。 。。。more

A very good reference book with a lot of background and contextual information and detailed instruction on the asanas with photos showing different angles to improve alignment。 Large section on therapeutic yoga for both body and mind。 A great book to have handy and keep dipping into。

Written for the beginning， intermediate， and advanced student， the book is beautifully illustrated and gives detailed instruction。 In chapter 8， the author includes an Iyengar Yoga course progressing from week 1 to week 20。 Chapter 4 and 5 give clear instruction on the poses with 360 degree illustrations to help clarify the asanas。

I found this book at a used book store about three years ago and bought it thinking I would read it when I had time。 What a find！ It is a treasure trouve of information from the yoga master himself。 Each pose is carefully broken down and includes benefits and contraindications， different modifications， and a little history。 This is a "must have" for any yoga teacher's library。 I think I will be going back to this book over and over again。 I found this book at a used book store about three years ago and bought it thinking I would read it when I had time。 What a find！ It is a treasure trouve of information from the yoga master himself。 Each pose is carefully broken down and includes benefits and contraindications， different modifications， and a little history。 This is a "must have" for any yoga teacher's library。 I think I will be going back to this book over and over again。 。。。more

An excellent guide to incorporating yoga into everyday life。 Highly recommend。

The introduction read like gobbledygook， probably partially because the concepts translated from Sanskrit were not translated in a way that made them comprehensible for me as an English speaker。 The bulk of the book contains explanations of postures， but I found the majority of them either inaccessible for beginners or requiring props that I don't have。 The introduction read like gobbledygook， probably partially because the concepts translated from Sanskrit were not translated in a way that made them comprehensible for me as an English speaker。 The bulk of the book contains explanations of postures， but I found the majority of them either inaccessible for beginners or requiring props that I don't have。 。。。more

The best part of this book is the "360 degree" photographs of each pose。 Being able to see a pose from a variety of angles is incredibly helpful。 The best part of this book is the "360 degree" photographs of each pose。 Being able to see a pose from a variety of angles is incredibly helpful。 。。。more

Not a book you ever really "finish。" I took it from the library to check some poses and see if there were some new ideas for my yoga practice :） There were！I recommend books like this ONLY IF you already do Iyengar yoga and already know how to do the poses - and having learned them from well-trained sources/teachers！ You can hurt yourself doing yoga！！I have done Iyengar yoga for decades and for me the benefits are that it keeps me strong and flexible as I age。。。your results may vary :） Not a book you ever really "finish。" I took it from the library to check some poses and see if there were some new ideas for my yoga practice :） There were！I recommend books like this ONLY IF you already do Iyengar yoga and already know how to do the poses - and having learned them from well-trained sources/teachers！ You can hurt yourself doing yoga！！I have done Iyengar yoga for decades and for me the benefits are that it keeps me strong and flexible as I age。。。your results may vary :） 。。。more

A wonderful guide for everyday yoga practice。 A mix of ancient yogic philosophy， guidance through 20 classic foundational poses chosen by Iyengar， theory and practice of guided yoga uses tools， blocks， etc cumulating in a simple to follow 20 week program for beginners or anyone！ Iyengar speaks and teaches as if he were born to be the one to unveil the life of a yogi directly to you。 Brilliant。

Excellent - BKS Iyengar designed yoga poses to help many different ailments。 Diagrams in this big book are very clear。 There is detailed， helpful description of how to get the pose right， including step-by-step and 360' diagrams。 There is key information with each pose， such as who it will benefit and who should avoid it。 Iyengar yoga teachers are highly trained and it is worth discussing your medical needs with them so that they can adjust classes for you。 The book will work well alongside any Excellent - BKS Iyengar designed yoga poses to help many different ailments。 Diagrams in this big book are very clear。 There is detailed， helpful description of how to get the pose right， including step-by-step and 360' diagrams。 There is key information with each pose， such as who it will benefit and who should avoid it。 Iyengar yoga teachers are highly trained and it is worth discussing your medical needs with them so that they can adjust classes for you。 The book will work well alongside any class， helping you to practice at home on a daily basis。 。。。more

This is a huge coffee table book， but I'm glad I read it。 I've been doing Iyengar yoga for about 2 years now and enjoy it more than any other style of yoga。 This book explains the philosophy of Iyengar， as well as each individual pose and what ailment it's good or bad for。 It also teaches you how to do a home practice， which I need to start doing。 Long book， fascinating read。 This is a huge coffee table book， but I'm glad I read it。 I've been doing Iyengar yoga for about 2 years now and enjoy it more than any other style of yoga。 This book explains the philosophy of Iyengar， as well as each individual pose and what ailment it's good or bad for。 It also teaches you how to do a home practice， which I need to start doing。 Long book， fascinating read。 。。。more

This is a must have book for any yoga student。 It's thick and encyclopedia-like， you are not throwing this one in your beach bag。 However， the explanations and alignment for essential asanas are fantastically detailed and the photographs of each asana are from multiple angles （not just the side view like other yoga books）。 I also appreciated that the bodies were of an athletic fit type rather than a thin model。 The substance and the philosophy sections of the book are a helpful addition and I li This is a must have book for any yoga student。 It's thick and encyclopedia-like， you are not throwing this one in your beach bag。 However， the explanations and alignment for essential asanas are fantastically detailed and the photographs of each asana are from multiple angles （not just the side view like other yoga books）。 I also appreciated that the bodies were of an athletic fit type rather than a thin model。 The substance and the philosophy sections of the book are a helpful addition and I like that there are sequences provided。 。。。more
