Learn from the master May 26, 2008
As a student of Iyengar style yoga for many years, I would think that this book would not help me.
But this book did help. The essence of Iyengar yoga is explained and you can hear direct from Mr. Iyengar himself. The book has Mr. Iyengar's description of postures so you can learn how he describes the postures.
Also I liked practicing the sequences at the end of the book, they had a certain rhythm and flow to it. This book also has tons of color photo's and a large section on using yoga for helping all types of health conditions. The only downside was not too much knowledge on the more advanced sequences. The book is more suited for beginning - intermediate yoga practitioners.

This is an excellent book for yoga practitioners or
even a good place for a beginner to learn about the
body and how it can be optimized thru the use of asana.
