Was in a bookstore today and noticed a big new

book on Iyengar yoga. Biggest yoga book I've seen yet!

<br><br>I guess it's a good book for people very new to

yoga who want some guidance on how to do the basic

asanas. Seeing how big it was, I was hoping it would be a

discussion of more advanced asanas, but no. About half the

text is devoted to the use of yoga props and various

yoga "therapies", different asanas as treatment for

different ailments. Whatever turns you on.

it's a wonderful book, actually...but it's geared

more toward the sequencing of iyengar practice. as you

may know, in iyengar classes, they don't do the same

asanas each time. the teacher may pick a handful of

poses geared towards breathing problems, or the same

for headaches. IMHO, iyengar practice goes very well

with my ashtanga practice. you learn so much more

about the individual asanas in an iyengar class than

you do in an ashtanga class (even if the ashtanga

teacher IS talking!). but anyway, it's a good book

i would also need poses for headaches if i had to

do iyengar yoga regularly.(ok,ok, take my

head)<br><br>Funny that it has never occurred to anyone that no

matter how good one is, that it is arrogant to put your

own name to a style of yoga. Well i'm off to

experiment with chamoya yoga. (doesn't sound right, does

it?)
