Hello and welcome to the forum,
There are several threads already discussing Iyengar's books and Light on Yoga specifically. Please use the search function to see what is here already. Kind regards,

AY,
I do not believe my post above could possibly be misinterpreted.

I agree. Dido.
Get Iyengar's path to holistic health-it is a great book for beginners. it has color photos that show poses "in the round" from various angles. The back section recommends sepcific poses for specifc health issues and shows them modified (with props). This is helpful. Light on yoga is more detailed and comprehensive. More for advanced beginner/intermediate (in my opinion). |
