Often referred to as the “Bible of Modern Yoga,” this classic manual includes over 600 photographs of Iyengar demonstrating yoga poses with meticulous detail. It provides step-by-step instructions for asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and sequences for various conditions. Deeply informative and methodical, it’s a foundational text for yoga practitioners and teachers alike.

His teachings are known for their emphasis on precision, alignment, and therapeutic applications of yoga. He studied under T. Krishnamacharya and played a major role in introducing yoga to the West through his rigorous method and disciplined approach.
