Light on Prãnãyãma: The Yogic Art of Breathing Paperback – June 1, 1985

This book is a treasure to me. It teaches a safe means of progressing through all of the variations of pranayamas. If all of the advice is taken, there will be no problems in this area of your personal practice.This is only one part of the yogic path, though. The rest needs to be in place for this to be effective. For that I rely on Yogani's Advanced Yoga Practices book. It gives step by step, safe instructions utilizing the techniques of the Gheranda Samhita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, as well as other great works. I highly recommend it to any serious yoga student.I am so glad to have found "Light on Pranayama". I am somewhat of a beginner to the serious practice I've undertaken, but with this book I feel confident that I will succeed. Thank you BKS Iyengar.

Iyengar is at the top.

I love to read all Mr. Iyengar's books because he is a well known yoga master.In this book he teaches differents breathing technics in order to improve your health and energy. I think that people who don't like to exercise at all will find very interesting to learn how to improve their health and energy.The letters in this book are very small so be ready to get lots of information without carrying a heavy book!

One of the best books that I have read. Lots of clarity and love in this book.

As a yoga teacher and practitioner, I love pranayama! This book goes in-depth and is a fascinating read. I have expanded my teaching and practice of pranayama using this book.

Purchased for YTT training. Good read very informative

I had an experienced teacher show me how to do 6 pranayam exercises before I began my practice; but, I wanted to know more about the science, mechanics and how to develop in my practice. This book answered those questions and my practice has grown each day, as well as my health.

Great Book... Really takes my breath away!!! That's Pranayama. Read this book before practicing on your own. Unguided Pranayama can be dangerous to your heath (life) and mental well-being. A word to the wise !!!
