by TKV Desikachar
In The Heart of Yoga Desikachar offers a distillation of Yoga practice as well as his own practical approach, which he describes as "a program for the spine at every level--physical, mental, and spiritual."
This is the first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to the age-old principles of yoga.
Desikachar discusses all the elements of yoga--poses and counterposes, conscious breathing, meditation, and philosophy--and shows how the yoga student may develop a practice tailored to his or her current state of health, age, occupation, and lifestyle.
