Light on Yoga: The Definitive Guide to Yoga Practice by B.K.S. Iyengar
5.0
An incredible yoga manual for life. Everything is very clear and thorough. I appreciate being able to understand not just how to perform the asanas, but also why I'm doing them. The introductory section also provides an excellent explanation of the spiritual aspects of yoga - something that the Westernised version often shies away from.
When I first got this book from the library, it seemed to be more of a yoga encyclopaedia (which it is), but there is also a section at the back detailing a programme you can follow as you progress, as well as lists of asanas that help relieve various ailments. I loved this book so much that I went out and bought a copy. It now sits near my yoga mat where I do my prescribed asanas every night. I have a feeling this book is going to be well loved in my home :)
