"Anyone and everyone can make the yogic journey and reach
the goal of
illumination and freedom..." from the introduction to Light
on Life B.K.S. Iyengar - hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" (BBC)
and considered by many to be the most important living yoga
master - has spent much of his life introducing the modern
world to the ancient practice of yoga. Yoga's popularity is
soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for
physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits
have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional,
intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic
tradition can also offer. In Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar
brings readers this new and more complete understanding of
the yogic journey. Here Iyengar explores the yogic goal to integrate the
different parts of the self (body, emotions, mind, and
soul), the role that the yoga postures and breathing
techniques play in our search for wholeness, the external
and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along
the path, and how yoga can transform our lives and help us
to live in harmony with the world around us. For the first
time, Iyengar uses stories from his own life, humor, and
examples from modern culture to illustrate the profound
gifts that yoga offers. Written with the depth of this
sage's great wisdom, Light on Life is the culmination of a
master's spiritual genius, a treasured companion to his
seminal Light on Yoga.
