I don't have a strong background in Iyengar yoga to tell you that this is an excellent book for anyone on a yogic journey!TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION

Heart of Yoga

A beautiful book for anyone who wants to dive into the essence of yoga. Great practical tips and wonderful/powerful chapters helping one to understand the origin and meaning of a personal practise.

great for any yoga student

I love the way the yoga philosophy is presented and interpreted. It's a wonderful resource for understanding Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. I highly recommend it.

Interesting but not for Beginners

We assign this book for our Advanced Yoga class. It is a great way to bridge physical activity with mental activity in the practices of yoga. I enjoyed this book, but it is not for beginners. I think some basic understanding of the practice is needed before reading this which is in more detail.

This is it!

Being a yoga teacher, I am often asked if there were only 1 book on yoga that I could recommend, which would it be? The answer is The Heart of Yoga. There is no hidden agenda here. The essence of yoga from the heart of a yogi. My second choice would be Srivatsa Ramaswami's-- Yoga for the Three Stages of Life: Developing Your Practice As an Art Form, a Physical Therapy, and a Guiding Philosophy. Second only because it did not have a translation of the Yoga Sutras included, as does The Heart of Yoga.

The Heart of Yoga is the first book to present the teachings of revered yogi Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) from the unique perspective of his son and principal student. Here, T.K.V. Desikachar shows how to use Krishnamacharya's system of viniyoga to develop a personal practice that is responsive to your own needs and adaptable to your age, health, and lifestyle. Krishnamacharya based his teachings on a number of scriptural sources, but of them all he placed the highest value on Pata-jali's Yoga Sutras. Heart of Yoga makes available for the first time in the West Desikachar's commentary on Pata-jali, as taught to him by his father.
