In this classic, a yoga master decribes the techniques of breathing together with a comprehensive background of yoga philosophy in this authoritative, practical and indispensable guide.

Annotation:
One of the world?s most beloved yogis, B.K.S Iyengar, writes a follow-up to his seminal doctrine LIGHT ON YOGA. Many consider LIGHT ON PRANAYAMA a required supplement to the earlier work as it explores and illuminates the breath, essential to the overall practice of yoga. Iyengar briefly addresses the essentials of yoga as a starting point, but he quickly turns his attention to an informed dialogue about pranayama, theories about how the breath functions, and its documented effects on the respiratory system. In preparation, he suggests ways to maximize the effectiveness of pranayama through dietary considerations, proper sitting positions, and other aids. Iyengar then offers meticulous and spiritually inspired instructions on how to perform a range of different breathing techniques. These methods, which have roots in ancient traditions, progress from simple to more advanced exercises. Iyengar concludes with talks on meditation and relaxation. The foreword is written by the violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who was often credited with introducing Iyengar to Europe and nudging him toward international recognition.
