Summary
Following in the footsteps of his legendary yogi father, Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, T.K.V. Desikachar presents the concepts of Viniyoga, which are tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual. Rather than subscribing to a strict set of rules and rhetoric, the yoga experience is simplified and amplified, seen as a dynamic process that allows for changes and demands in everyday life. This book includes a straightforward interpretation of the Yoga Sutras of Pantajali, 32 poems by Krishmacharya, and over 300 photos and illustrations.

The Heart of Yoga (Qty: 3)
Brand new. The first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to viniyoga--yoga adapted to the needs of the individual. xA contemporary classic by a world-renowned teacher. xThis new edition adds thirty-two poems by Krishnamacharya that capture the essence of his teachings. Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who lived to be over 100 years old, was one of the greatest yogis of the modern era. Elements of Krishnamacharya's teaching have become well known around the world through the work of B. K. S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Indra Devi, who all studied with Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar lived and studied with his father all his life and now teaches the full spectrum of Krishnamacharya's yoga. Desikachar has based his method on Krishnamacharya's fundamental concept of viniyoga, which maintains that practices must be continually adapted to the individual's changing needs to achieve the maximum therapeutic value. In The Heart of Yoga Desikachar offers a distillation of his father's system as well as his own practical approach, which he describes as "a program for the spine at every level--physical, mental, and spiritual." This is the first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to the age-old principles of yoga. Desikachar discusses all the elements of yoga--poses and counterposes, conscious breathing, meditation, and philosophy--and shows how the yoga student may develop a practice tailored to his or her current state of health, age, occupation, and lifestyle.
