Yoga in Action: A Preliminary Course [New!]
The latest publication from Geeta S. Iyengar is meant as a manual for the new practitioners of Iyengar Yoga. Beginners in this field, often find it very difficult to practice on their own what they have learnt in their classes under the directions and instructions of their teacher. This book would guide the students in their individual practices by providing a step wise approach of every action that they need to take in the performance of individual asanas. It has several graphics, not only of the final classical asanas but also the intermediary stages and the use of props. It is not conventionally bound but is spirally-bound making it very convenient for the practitioner to use as practical manual. A must for all those aspiring to take to the study of Iyengar Yoga as well as the teachers so that they too can systematically guide their students.

A Class after a Class [New!]
This 60 page booklet is a transcript of an interveiw of Prashant S. Iyengar. The interview covers various aspects of Iyengar Yoga practices which somehow cannot be covered in a practical "Iyengar Yoga" class. It articulates the unique features of Iyengar Yoga practices such as the sequencing of asanas, the importance given to timings and the technical intricacies. A clear explanation of why such an importance is given to these aspects. It explains lucidly as to how the mind is involved in one's practices, how the mind influences one's practices with very practical examples, it guides one in one?s practices through various stages and ages of life. A book which would be serve as a revelation for the "Iyengar Yoga" practitioners.

An online version of this interview (including additional parts, that have not been printed before) is available on our website.
