There is the saying 'how you do anything means everything'. Likewise, how we do yoga is how we will engage life in general. That seems to be the gist of this book. However there is so much wisdom here that I enthusiastically recommend it to anyone, whether they practice yoga or not.

So interesting to read after light on yoga and see the difference in focus. Beautiful

Unfortunately I never finished this before having to return it to the library. It's not easily-digestible and I'd need my own copy to fully absorb the wisdom of Iyengar.

Such a gorgeous and thought provoking book. It really motivates me to stay consistent in my practice. However, some of the later chapters got very esoteric and were hard for me to understand.

I've been a "yogi" for some years now and this book was just perfect 70% through. I'm sure the other 30% is too. Iyengar is a master. An example. I kept highlighting parts of the book and wishing my level of conscience could one day be at even 5% compared to BK Iyengar. As a yogi who is looking for the holistic experience and not just to sweat while bending like a pretzel I appreciate all he has to say.
He however lost me at the end. I'm just not there yet.
I strive for samadhi, but I'm still just trying to not do bad and (sometimes) do good. Easier said than done.
I will be using this book as a reference (just like light in yoga) and hope one day I get it.
