Reviews

[Liene]

Very straight forward and easily comprehensible study book. Yet, it feels like it lacks instruction for some of the poses (especially taking into consideration her background) as well as benefits and, more important, contraindications. Other than that, it is a truly great book on one of the modern asana techniques and it is definitely good for beginners.

[Lucas]

Excellent for one's own home practice or to assist in teaching an intro/early class.

[Kate]

Excellent introduction to the basics of Iyengar Yoga - detailed explanations of asanas plus a 28 day course with sequences.

[Mamta]

It is very exciting book. I recommend it to read

[Mia Ferreira]

Combined with Light on Yoga this book is all you need to learn the basic instructions and actions of the foundation yoga poses. Detailed step by step instructions and options for modifications are given, along with sequences that you can follow - starting with absolute beginners and progressing to more experienced and difficult poses and classes.
