Light on Yoga
$11.99
Light on Yoga is one of the most influential modern texts on the practice and philosophy of yoga. Written by B.K.S. Iyengar, a pioneering yoga master, the book serves as both a comprehensive manual and a spiritual guide. It illuminates the path of yoga—literally bringing “light” to the subject—by combining detailed physical instruction with profound philosophical insight.
Iyengar’s meticulous approach breaks down more than 200 postures (āsanas) and 14 breathing techniques (prāṇāyāmas) with precise alignment cues, photographs, and step-by-step guidance. Yet the book goes beyond physical practice; it reveals yoga as a discipline of the body, mind, and soul. The opening chapters introduce the philosophy of Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras, exploring concepts like effort, discipline, and inner balance.
At its heart, Light on Yoga teaches that yoga is not merely exercise but a lifelong journey toward self-realization and harmony. Through dedication, awareness, and perseverance, one can transform the light of outer practice into the inner illumination of wisdom and peace.
