Light On Yoga: Which Edition?

Yoga Discussion General Yoga

Hi;

I got a copy of the 1976 edition of “Light On Yoga” by BKS Iyengar when I was a teenager. I remember years later when shopping for another copy there was an “abriged” edition that did not have nearly as much content.

I have a friend who just started yoga about a years ago and is getting enthusiastic about it.

I would like to tell her to get a copy of “Light On Yoga”, but I am worried that she will get a truncated edition.

Does anyone know which editions to avoid or seek out. Was that abriged edition a one time fluke?

The book should be 544 pages long. Long or old version, all great information, it is a classic book. Check out Amazon.com for great prices and new and used versions. Best of luck,

Hi beforewisdom,

one of these should be fine:

http://www.amazon.com/Light-Yoga-Bible-Modern-Yoga/dp/0805210318/

Thanks much for the answers everyone!

Iyengar’s book “Yoga: The Path to Holistic Health” might be more appropriate for a beginning student.
