Light on Life

Hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" and considered the most important master of this ancient practice, B. K. S. Iyengar has spent his life introducing yoga to the modern world. Few people understand the emotional, intellectual and spiritual development it offers. Iyengar's goal is to integrate the body, emotions, mind and soul, and to reveal the role that postures and breathing play in our search for wholeness. Light on Life is the culmination of a master's lifelong spiritual voyage."The test of a teaching lies here: can we use it to find our way through life's vicissitudes, its tragedies and minor irritations? If it cannot help on that level, leave it on the shelf. This one belongs right beside your mat." --Ascent Magazine
