"Inverted poses are the hallmark of yoga and its greatest gift to humanity. They, more than any other family of asana-s, have deep effects on the mind... Inverted poses present a challenge for most students. In my experience, props can play an important role in introducing inversions gradually and safely until the student feels ready for the final poses. For all these reasons, I view the present volume as central to the Props for Yoga series." Following the format of Props for Yoga 1 (Standing Asana) and Props for Yoga 2 (Sitting asana and Forward Bends) 2, the book contains hundreds of photos to illustrate the practical, step-by-step instructions. Each asana description comes with an Effects section, explaining the desired effects of using the props in the specified manner, and a Tips section, providing clues about the physical and mental aspects of the asana. The book ends with four Practice sequences, demonstrating the use of specific props for a complete practice. A detailed Index includes pointers to the variations by asana and by type of prop.
Yoga was revealed by the ancient sages as a way of spiritual realization and transformation; it was transmitted to us by a succession of sages (rishis) and Gurus. Texts like The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita and the Shiva Samhita define and describe the essence of yoga, the yogic state, and yogic conduct. Many interpretations of these ancient texts have evolved over the years, including several books by my own teacher, Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar.
Yoga is not just a theory; it is a practical philosophy, a path to be travelled with intention, action, sensitivity and dedication. Only by putting the sutras into practice in our own lives can their full meaning and significance be revealed to us. Mere theoretical study of the texts will not lead to transformation and liberation. Guruji Iyengar’s brilliant contribution has been in formulating ways in which the practice of asana and Pranayama can be used to transform our bodies and minds through self-reflection, seeking to achieve the yogic state of knowing the eternal soul within.
