Review
‘The fact that yoga has taken the western world by storm as a health and conditioning discipline should only reinforce what Indians have known for centuries—that its benefits are too significant and not to include it as part of everyday life. And to have it now tailored to sports will make the benefits even more appreciable. I thoroughly recommend this book if you are serious about taking your physical conditioning for sports to the next level.’ —Andrew Leipus, physiotherapist, Indian Cricket Team (1999—2004)
‘What often looks instinctive in a sportsperson to the spectator is actually a culmination of careful practice and skill produced by years of hard work. These asanas, provided by Yogacharya Iyenger, are invaluable towards that process.’ — Ayaz Memon, sports writer
About the Author
B.K.S. Iyengar was the world’s most formidable authority on yoga. He was responsible for introducing yoga to the western world and making it the phenomenon that it is today. He is the author of over thirty books on yoga, with his seminal Light on Yoga still a masterpiece, even after five decades and twenty translations. His eighty-plus years of teaching experience has been put down in this book for all to benefit from the subject. It can be considered as one of the most exhaustive practical books after Light on Yoga and Light on Pranayama.
