Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar (14 December 1918 - 20 August 2014), better known as B.K.S. Iyengar, was the founder of the style of yoga known as "Iyengar Yoga" and was considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world. He was the author of many books on yoga practice and philosophy including Light on Yoga, Light on Pranayama, Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Light on Life. Iyengar was one of the earliest students of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who is often referred to as "the father of modern yoga". He has been credited with popularizing yoga, first in India and then around the world.

The Indian government awarded Iyengar the Padma Shri in 1991, the Padma Bhushan in 2002 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2014. In 2004, Iyengar was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.

Gita of Yoga

Reviewed in India on 24 October 2018

Being a health and fitness enthusiast I have cam across many books on health and fitness but LIGHT ON YOGA became one of my favourite book.Not because it is written by BKS IYENGER But for the techniques elaborated in this book.The language is so simple and all the poses are so explainatory that even if you are a newbie you will understand every thing.
I am a fitness freak and doing yoga since ages but this book realised me that I am a newbie and I don't know any thing.
Well the most hatred thing in this world is when someone kick to break your ego.
And Sir BKS IYENGAR Sir realised me that I am nothing. I can simply bet that even if you are a yoga teacher you might not have heard about many yoga poses mentioned in this book.
Light On Yoga is a GITA OF YOGA.This book deserves a huge respect .
Go for it guys ! If you are a yoga lover.
This huge book contains almost 544pages and each and every page is a yoga teacher itself.
Totally worth.Hey Amazon can we have 6stars for this book?
Hit like if you liked my reviews

Superb, detailed description of yoga, asanas and pranayama

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2018

Verified Purchase

The book starts with an excellent background to yoga, and goes on to give step by step descriptions for almost 200 asanas. The asanas are all advanced poses, so I wouldn't recommend beginners trying to achieve the positions. However, for the intermediate practitioner this book is an absolute must. The descriptions are detailed, and the photographs give clear indications for positioning. The book also explains pranayama and meditation, and so contains all the information you need to form a complete practice

Invaluable book for any yogi student from beginner to very advanced.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is amazing.
I go to yoga classes every week and wanted to learn more, so I bought this book to understand more about yoga.
It really is a fantastic reference book. Every pose is explained in detail and reasons are given why the pose is good for you. There are clear pictures for every pose and for the more complicated of poses (I won't be trying those for a while) the photos show each stage of how to get into position.
Some of the positions are pretty hard core, but all the well known, regular poses are explained too.
This book is great for the beginner or more advanced yogi.
If you are keen to learn more about yoga positions especially how to be perfectly aligned and focus on the correct posture then this book is for you.
I have mine on my coffee table and keep returning to it as a reference.
This book is invaluable for any student of yoga.

This has detailed breakdowns of almost every imaginable yoga pose, all their health benefits AND a library of "yoga courses" at the back, practice sequences that I find useful.

Probably not a book for a total beginner though.....I wouldn't recommend learning a yoga pose or Pranayama totally from a book unless you'd had some prior guidance...or knew your body well.

Would love to have this in a kindle version so I can take it with me....

Amazing, very detailed, everything you need to know to guide you along your yoga path. It even has a week by week guid on asanas you can get started on and then guides you to the next ones to build on.
Love it, a great reference book
