But this book did help. The essence of Iyengar yoga is explained and you can hear direct from Mr. Iyengar himself. The book has Mr. Iyengar's description of postures so you can learn how he describes the postures.
Also I liked practicing the sequences at the end of the book, they had a certain rhythm and flow to it. This book also has tons of color photo's and a large section on using yoga for helping all types of health conditions. The only downside was not too much knowledge on the more advanced sequences. The book is more suited for beginning - intermediate yoga practitionersCure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition.
