Iyengar has written other books that explain his "method" for beginners: Illustrations by step, using accessories to integrate gradually postures, presentation of the essential postures, simple and clear program for all levels (BKS Iyengar, The Path to Holistic [...] Unfortunately for us ca only in English. Yoga Dipika is not a method for beginners and even has to be shown and taught by a qualified teacher for more advanced practitioners. It So this is the bible of asanas and in this the most comprehensive out there. Hey ca exist in paperback ...... 8 euros. For those who want to discover this living god of yoga, I recommend reading Iyengar himself: "The path to inner peace: Travel to the fullness and light" and most advanced "of the Yoga Tree" and even more fans these comments on yoga sutras of Patanjali ....

A hand to all those who claim that Iyengar yoga is only a gym. Happy reading, Namaste. Vincent
