About this listen

A must-have for anyone who practises yoga or is interested in the teachings of the East.

B.K.S. Iyengar, whose teachings on yoga are followed throughout the world, reflects upon his lifetime's experience on the yoga path. The structure of the book follows the different aspects of that path (from Freedom Awaits, through The Physical Body, The Energy Body, The Mental Body, The Intellectual Body, The Divine Body to Living in Freedom) and provides a learning framework for yoga as well as an invaluable discourse on life.

'Iyengar knows what the body needs, and he's introduced to the West the Easterner's best path to health and well-being' - TIME Magazine

'Revelations from a lifetime of studying yoga' - The Washington Post

'Light on Life is rich in yoga philosophy and methodology. But unlike his previous writings, this new book is full of autobiographical anecdotes' - The New York Times

'Mr Iyengar reveals in Light on Life the 'heart of yoga' that he personally discovered through more than 70 years of disciplined, daily practice ... [including] the precise ways that yoga can transform our lives and help us live in harmony with the world around us' - Yoga Journal

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I found some amazing practical tips for yoga practice, but I also really enjoyed the spiritual musings of the author too.
I think the story of how he overcame his TB and became a teacher is very inspiring. Definitely reccomend if you enjoy yoga and yoga philosophy. The narrator seemed to be really engaged with the text and read with real meaning and intonation I felt.

Great narrator, awesome book

Got my moneys worth with this one, it covers intricacies coming from a strong source. I’d like to find more books like this here

Enjoyed very much, its the kind of audiobook that you should buy a hard copy of because almost every sentence rings with truth and wisdom. For this reason, it's a bit short but for the same reason, it's never boring. The reader is more than acceptable and I will listen again and again. 4 stars overall because its an audiobook and no supporting images, also, the wisdom of the words doesn't quite feel understood by the narrator at times(in saying that, his neutrality is perfect at the same time) , although I can't imagine anyone who would do a better job either.
