The world's most venerated yoga teacher sheds light on life through the prism of yoga.

'Iyengar knows what the body needs, and he's introduced to the West the Easterner's best path to health and well-being.'
Time Magazine

One of the world's masters of yoga invites both those new to yoga and those who are experienced practitioners on an inward journey designed to increase their physical health, emotional vitality, mental clarity, intellectual wisdom and spiritual bliss.

Light on Life conveys his discoveries from a lifetime of intensive yoga practice, study and teaching, and explains the role that yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness, the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path, and how yoga can help us live in harmony with the world around us. Beyond the physical benefits that have drawn millions to the practice, Iyengar shows how yoga can improve our lives in many practical and life-changing ways.

'Mr Iyengar reveals in Light on Life the 'heart of yoga' that he personally discovered through more than 70 years of disciplined, daily practice... [including] the precise ways that yoga can transform our lives and help us live in harmony with the world around us.'
Yoga Journal

A must-have for anyone who practises yoga or is interested in the teachings of the East.

B.K.S. Iyengar, whose teachings on yoga are followed throughout the world, reflects upon his lifetime's experience on the yoga path. The structure of the book follows the different aspects of that path (from Freedom Awaits, through The Physical Body, The Energy Body, The Mental Body, The Intellectual Body, The Divine Body to Living in Freedom) and provides a learning framework for yoga as well as an invaluable discourse on life.
