The Yoga light of the famous B.K.S. Iyengar is a compendium book of great interest to Yoga students and practitioners. The book is composed of the 57 key asanas of Hatha-Yoga, in addition to a summary of pranayama.

Profusely illustrated with photographs carefully placed next to the text, The Light of Yoga allows the student to practice the different postures without the express help of a teacher. As Yehudi Menuhin writes in the foreword, The Light of Yoga is a short new edition that will bring the basic art of Yoga to a very high audience and for superior practice.

The Light of Yoga is, in short, a concise book of enormous clarity. An eminently educational book that includes:

- An introduction to the philosophy and practice of Yoga.

- Detailed description of 57 basic postures.

- Techniques to quiet the mind through breathing exercises.

- A 35-week progressive course from the most basic level to an intermediate level.

-A complete glossary of Yoga terms.
