It is a practical guide, containing ample photos to accompany the step-by-step instructions on using props in the practice of Iyengar Yoga. In addition, this guide is enriched by:
- A short introduction to each family of asanas, accomapnied with excerpts from B.K.S. Iyengar and other important teachers as well as with Eyal’s own personal perspectives
- Comments on the physiological effects of the presented variations
