About
Light on Life is an excellent introduction to a practical understanding of the spiritual underpinnings of the yoga asana practice that has taken the world by storm. B.K.S Iyengar’s expressions on the use of the body in understanding the layer of human experience is masterful, yet accessible and not overly technical. Through personal anecdotes he brings forward the deeper and more powerful purpose to the physical practice. Specifically, how conscious embodiment and the eight limbs of yoga have direct implications on how we experience our emotions and show up in our lives.
“Yoga insists on examining, scientifically and without value judgment, what can go wrong and why, and how to stop it. It is organic farming of the self–for the self.”
B.K.S. Iyengar in Light on Life
Who should read this book?
Anyone who is interested in personal cultivation through yoga or has an existing yoga practice and has tasted that there is more to it than exercise. It is both a primer to yogic spirituality and a practitioners manual for facing the obstacles that keep one stuck in the same old patterns.
