+ Want to read

This illustrated guide introduces the Iyengar method of yoga, a practice built on precise alignment and careful attention to the body. Its many full-colour photographs show each posture in sequence, so readers can follow along and see exactly where the body should be at every stage. The book is aimed at women who want to build a regular practice at home or deepen one they already have, and it explains the purpose behind each movement as well as how to perform it.
