Light on Life: Iyengar Yoga for Wholeness, Peace, and Freedom

B.K.S. Iyengar, hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" by the BBC and considered by many to be one of the most important yoga masters, has dedicated much of his life to introducing the modern world to the ancient practice of yoga. The popularity of yoga is soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic tradition can also offer. In his book "Light on Life," B.K.S. Iyengar brings readers a new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey.

In this book, Iyengar explores the yogic goal of integrating the different parts of the self, including the body, emotions, mind, and soul. He delves into the role that the yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness, as well as the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path. Iyengar also demonstrates how yoga can transform our lives and help us live in harmony with the world around us.

For the first time, Iyengar uses stories from his own life, humor, and examples from modern culture to illustrate the profound gifts that yoga offers. Written with the depth of this sage's great wisdom, "Light on Life" is the culmination of a master's spiritual genius and a treasured companion to his seminal work, "Light on Yoga."

The book invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, guiding them through the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of yoga. Iyengar's unique approach, blending ancient wisdom with modern sensibilities, makes "Light on Life" an indispensable resource for both seasoned practitioners and those new to the practice of yoga.

Through his personal experiences and insightful teachings, Iyengar demonstrates how yoga can be a powerful tool for cultivating a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around us. By integrating the various aspects of the self, yoga can help us achieve a state of harmony and balance, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

"Light on Life" is a testament to Iyengar's lifelong dedication to the art and science of yoga, and his unwavering commitment to sharing its transformative power with the world. This book stands as a masterful work, a gift from a true yoga master, inspiring readers to explore the profound depths of this ancient practice and embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
