Priceless. ❤️ - I adore absolutely this book. For me, it's the ACME of yoga books. This book lives by my bedside and comes out weekly for my private yoga lessons and solitary study. It's so easy to read and understand, in under 250 pages, that any yoga student can benefit from it. It humbly and concisely emanates the essence of yoga for every body, everywhere; that if you can breathe, you can do yoga, and that, through adapting yoga practices for each person's needs as they change from day to month to year, yoga can be a full life therapy for anyone. Wow. That blows my mind. Big Pharma can't say that! Desikachar states clearly and methodically what yoga is, what it teaches, how to do it, and its benefits to body, mind and spirit, as taught to him by his own father Krishnamacharya (who also taught BKS Iyengar, the human rubberband!). It does it without ego or ceremony; without the alarming bodily contortions or religious diatribe that put so many people off; enough of the Sanskrit terminology to be accurate, but no more than necessary, illuminating and explaining beautifully the benevolent and deeply wise teachings of the sage Patanjali believed to be thousands of years old (Sutra included), in such a way that yoga can be seen for what it is: a timeless science for the fullness of human health, prevention of illness, peace of mind and happiness in the soul. The book demonstrates that asana/postures are only part of what Westerners think of as yoga, and puts them in their rightful place - as just one limb, but an important one - within the Eight Limbs of Yoga. There are photos of Krishnamacharya doing postures, but they aren't mindbogglingly gymnastic, and there are illustrative posture sequences that most yoga students will recognise and can do at home. Please buy this if you're curious about yoga. It's so simple, erudite and brilliant. I think you'll like it. ❤️ Review: Yoga bible - This book should be a must have for anyone with a serious interest in studying yoga. It takes you beyond the physical of asana showing you what yoga is all about and how yoga can enable you to understand your place in the universe. A standard yoga bible on everyone’s shelf. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 19,890 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 30 in Eastern Mystical Philosophy (Books) 75 in Address Books | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,352) | | Dimensions | 20.32 x 2.03 x 25.4 cm | | Edition | 2nd Edition, Revised | | ISBN-10 | 089281764X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0892817641 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | 1 Mar. 1999 | | Publisher | Inner Traditions | ## Images ![The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aVW2BwSAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best yoga book I've ever used.
