Heart of Yoga

TKV Desikachar, the son of Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, one of the most important yogis of our age, blends the methods he learned from his father with his own approach in The Heart of Yoga. This book, which includes teachings that take physical, mental and spiritual integrity into consideration, is the first work that explains how to create a personalized yoga practice, step by step, based on the ancient principles of yoga. In The Heart of Yoga, supported by illustrated explanations, Desikachar discusses all the elements of yoga and shows how those who want to learn yoga can develop a yoga practice suitable for their health status, physical characteristics, age, profession and lifestyle.

“There could be no better book to recommend to someone who is eager to start yoga but is confused by the multitude of different schools of yoga and their teachings, or to a student who wants to advance their yoga practice. The value of The Heart of Yoga lies not only in Desikachar's vast knowledge, but also in the compassion, kindness, usefulness and realism that permeate the work.”
