Great December 22, 2008
Joseph P. Hayes (Raleigh, N.C.)
The book was just as described on Amazon. My local Post Office out of no where decided my house was vacant. So I worked that out, meanwhile seller got the book returned to them. Anyway seller emailed me, and i said ship again sorry about everything. Soon the book arrived. Very happy with everything.
Iyengar Way - great December 7, 2008
Book Lover
The book was just fine and I really appreciate that you sent me another bonus book, as you thought that the book purchased was not the quality that you thought was acceptable, though I thought it was quite acceptable! Thank you very much.

This is one of my favorite Iyengar books. THe illustrations and descriptions of the poses are very clear and easy to follow. Good for any begginer or more seasoned person.
It also tells you how each Asana benefits asn stimulates different organs- I find this very helpful and I can find even greater motivation to practice.
Highly recommend. A must have in any yoga library.
Highly Accessessible Intro To the Iyengar System of Hatha Yoga October 20, 2008

This book is beautifully designed with full-color pictures
throughout and a lot of insightful commentary indicating the
areas of each pose where the most challenging and rewarding
"work" will be done.
Many yoga postures are beneficial even when performed with
poor alignment. The most important thing is to TRY. I remember
starting out - my alignment and flexibility were poor - but
I improved and refined my Yoga over time.
Iyengar's "Light on Yoga" covers more postures and in more
depth - but it is not a practice manual like this one - meant
to be laid out on the floor while you practice.
If you are a beginner this is excellent. If you are more
than a beginner this will help you learn and refine your
understanding of the Iyengar approach - which is highly
influential for very good reasons.

This book gives you easily digestable information of the Iyengar yoga. Very clear instructions and steps how to work into the posture. I have recommended this book to my students since it gives you a solid support for the home practise.
