Product Description:
The first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to viniyoga--yoga adapted to the needs of the individual.
A contemporary classic by a world-renowned teacher.
This new edition adds thirty-two poems by Krishnamacharya that capture the essence of his teachings.
Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who lived to be over 100 years old, was one of the greatest yogis of the modern era. Elements of Krishnamacharya's teaching have become well known around the world through the work of B. K. S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Indra Devi, who all studied with Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar lived and studied with his father all his life and now teaches the full spectrum of Krishnamacharya's yoga. Desikachar has based his method on Krishnamacharya's fundamental concept of viniyoga, which maintains that practices must be continually adapted to the individual's changing needs to achieve the maximum therapeutic value.
In The Heart of Yoga Desikachar offers a distillation of his father's system 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.

The book is a must for all interested in yoga, meditation and pranayama.
It teaches beautifully, many techniques that are invaluable for our growth in the world of yoga and in the search for inner calm and awareness.
I would recommend and require reading this book to all my potential students along with The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, and The Gnostic Magic of the Runes.

Usually whenever people think of yoga its the asans that comes to their minds. Asans are only one part of yoga and this book does a very good job of explaining that. This book does a good job of explaining yoga philosophy and spiritual principles by providing the translation of Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali. This book provides you valuable tools to define yoga practice for yourself. But i expected this book to be a self help book which will help me implement and practice yoga lifestyle. If you are looking ... Read More

This book is truly a complete and comprehensive resource for anyone looking to enter into a teaching program or anyone simply looking to deepen or develop their own personal practice.

Nice, easy book to understand yoga and where it came from. Good book to have to refer to every once in a while on history of teachers spreading yogic practices, on Pranayam and some basic yoga posture. Useful to me as a teacher. Reference book.
