Iyengar: The Yoga Master

Featured, in 2002, as one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential Personalities of the Year", B. K. S. Iyengar is universally acknowledged as the most well-known yoga practitioner alive today. Probably the most influential yoga teacher in the world, with more people following his method than any other, his classic book Light On Yoga is an essential component of every yoga library. It was responsble for opening up the practice of hatha yoga to millions upon millions of today's practitioners world-wide. Through his numerous other publications as well as his teachings, Iyengar developed the foundation of yoga as we know it today, thus touching the minds, bodies and spirits of all those who have tried it. Iyengar: The Yoga Master brings many of the world's acknowledged yoga masters, teachers and practitioners together in acknowledgement of the immense influence that Iyengar has had on the subject. Since each Contributor has written his or her chapter as a personal gift and testemant to Iyengar, the subjects covered are as diverse as the writers, but all share a transparent honesty and readibility that allows the skill and expertise of each writer to shine new light on yoga as a subject. This book is highly recommended. PLEASE NOTE: All profits will be donated in aid of the charitable work currently being done to develop the village of Bellur, B. K. S. Iyengar's place of birth.
