The book by the author of the famous “Iyengar Yoga” covers the practical and philosophical aspects of yoga. It is based on conversations with students and lectures that he gave around the world. The master readily shares his personal experience of practicing poses and breathing exercises. Patanjali Iyengar compares the “Yoga Sutras” to a tree that bears fruit only with daily care, and calls for following this principle in your studies. Separate chapters are devoted to the topics of love, sexuality, family life, health, healing arts, meditation, death. Iyengar views his philosophy as a guide for everyday life and himself is an example of its consistent implementation. Diligently practicing yoga, he never neglected his worldly responsibilities - husband, father, son, student, teacher. Therefore, his advice and recommendations are as close to real life as possible.
