Recommended read for Feb (and beyond!): BKS Iyengar’s The Path To Holistic Health

Still wrapped up and locked down? No worries! You’re not alone! Perfect time to discover and expand our understanding of Yoga. Recently recommended to me by my London-based Iyengar Yoga teacher Khaled Kendsi is B.K.S Iyengar’s The Path To Holistic Health – illustrated, relevant and accessible the book is an inclusive and adventurous exploration of the philosophical and practical teachings of Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja (B.K.S) Iyengar.

Iyengar Yoga has a profound impact on my life – beyond the mat especially – and this book is a wonderful read for anyone interested in learning about Iyengar, whether the interest be directed toward the style, the founder or the history surrounding the Art. So much more can be said, but here’s a description from the good okes at Goodreads:
