Light on Pranayama

Never expected someone to include very minor details in writing.Such a brief book and practical book on pranayam, gives an experience of being taught orally as someone including every of your query and questions you will face during practice.Very vivid about the types of pranayam, uses and it's adaptability. And somehow good for a beginner who don't have or want any human help.

Would recommend reading other books that he used as reference - Hatha Yoga Pradipika (Light on Hatha Yoga)

New book by Iyengar excellent on Pranayama.

Very very informative and knowledgeable.

Having learnt Pranayama from a couple of different people, I ordered this book out of curiosity. It turned out to be the Pranayam Bible. Unless you're learning from a really really good teacher, there are a whole bunch of things that you will miss out learning because either the teachers don't care or they don't know themselves know or because they are teaching multiple students in a class eg. the book educated me on why my nose gets blocked when I am doing pranayam at certain times. It's because you need to prepare your body before you start doing Pranayam. You can't decide one day to start doing Pranayam and expect your body to respond. I am not one with a strong respiratory system. The book told me I need to strengthen my system with asanas before I do pranayam. I discovered that I needed some regular gymming to strengthen my body since I was unfit and then sit for Pranayam after a few months of exercises. All these pearls of wisdom and much more you will find in this book. A must have if you're practicing or even considering doing Pranayam.

This an amazing book which provides an in depth understanding about yoga and Pranayam. As the title of the book clearly indicates, this book is dedicated to Pranayam only, but one must have mastered the basic asans before doing Pranayam, this has been clearly mentioned in the book at several places. Therefore it is advisable to first read about the basic asans from the book Light on Yoga which has been authored by Iyengar himself. Reading this book has been an eye opener for me because it goes into so many fine details and nuances of yoga which cannot be learnt without considerable practice. Iyengar is in a different league altogether, none of the so called self proclaimed yoga gurus can measure upto him except Sadhguru. My interest in yoga first grew when I saw videos of Sadhguru on YouTube. Yoga is a wonderful and powerful tool to transform our lives and experience things which we cannot even dream of.

TOO GOOD BOOKS BUT WILL NEED TO STUDY AND MAKE UR OWN NOTES

This book is more useful for study and knowledge it not much useful for practise I felt.
