Summary
A must-have for anyone who practises yoga or is interested in the teachings of the East.
B.K.S. Iyengar, whose teachings on yoga are followed throughout the world, reflects upon his lifetime's experience on the yoga path. The structure of the book follows the different aspects of that path (from Freedom Awaits, through The Physical Body, The Energy Body, The Mental Body, The Intellectual Body, The Divine Body to Living in Freedom) and provides a learning framework for yoga as well as an invaluable discourse on life.
'Iyengar knows what the body needs, and he's introduced to the West the Easterner's best path to health and well-being' - TIME Magazine
'Revelations from a lifetime of studying yoga' - The Washington Post
'Light on Life is rich in yoga philosophy and methodology. But unlike his previous writings, this new book is full of autobiographical anecdotes' - The New York Times
'Mr Iyengar reveals in Light on Life the 'heart of yoga' that he personally discovered through more than 70 years of disciplined, daily practice ... [including] the precise ways that yoga can transform our lives and help us live in harmony with the world around us' - Yoga Journal
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A must read for any yoga practitioner
On finishing this book my thought is that I want to go back to the beginning and listen again. This time with pen and notepad. His voice is clear and precise. His references to Patanjali are perfect for the yoga student who has also read the wonderful Yoga Sutras. It combines the old teachings with Iyengar life experience and study of yoga in a seamless harmonious fusion. I highly recommend this book.

Wonderful!
Great to have this available to listen to and with one of the best narrators I have come across on Audible. The content is of course amazing but also really easy to understand and follow. It would be great to have more of Iyengar’s books available with this narrator.

Great narrator, awesome book
I found some amazing practical tips for yoga practice, but I also really enjoyed the spiritual musings of the author too.
I think the story of how he overcame his TB and became a teacher is very inspiring. Definitely reccomend if you enjoy yoga and yoga philosophy. The narrator seemed to be really engaged with the text and read with real meaning and intonation I felt.

Excellent book but the wrong narrator
This is such a wonderful book but the narrator just sounds like a condescending school teacher telling you you've been wrong. Content of the book is excellent however.
