Iyengar delves into the yogic goal of integrating the various parts of the self (body, emotions, mind, and soul), the role that yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our quest for wholeness, the external and internal obstacles that prevent us from progressing along the path, and how yoga can transform our lives and help us live in harmony with the world around us. For the first time, Iyengar uses personal anecdotes, humour, and modern-day examples to demonstrate yoga's tremendous gifts. Written with the depth of this sage's tremendous wisdom, Light on Life is the conclusion of a master's spiritual talent, a valued companion to his original Light on Yoga.
