The Tree of Yoga. Daily Practice

The book by the author of the famous «Iyengar Yoga» highlights the practical and philosophical aspects of yoga. It is based on conversations with students and lectures he gave around the world. The master generously shares his personal experience of... practicing poses and breathing exercises. He likens the «Yoga Sutras» of Patanjali to a tree that bears fruit only with daily care, and urges following this principle in one's practice. Separate chapters are dedicated to the themes of love, sexuality, family life, health, healing arts, meditation, and death. Iyengar views his philosophy as a guide for everyday life and embodies its consistent implementation. While diligently practicing yoga, he never neglected worldly duties — as a spouse, father, son, student, and teacher. Therefore, his advice and recommendations are closely aligned with real life.
