Annotation:
HOW TO USE YOGA is a trusted resource for yoga students of the Iyengar method. Having studied with Iyengar himself from an early age, Mira Mehta is a close protégé of the master and is widely regarded as a faithful messenger of his teachings. The meticulous descriptions and remarkably instructive photographs are geared especially for the beginning yoga student, and Mehta is liberal with suggested modifications of the poses to suit variations in physical ability. The 41 basic asanas are described with unfailing thoroughness and are followed by a discussion on how to apply and control the breath. Mehta also outlines a 10-week course introducing yoga into the student's daily routine and overall life plan. Beyond the intense immersion into Iyengar is an additional section that describes asanas used to relieve common ailments (such as headaches) and other physical problems. The author's reliable attention to detail, plus the more than 450 photographs, are more than enough to prepare the beginning Hatha yoga student.
