The Heart of Yoga br T.K.V. Desikachar is the first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to viniyoga--yoga adapted to the needs of the individual. 

• A contemporary classic by a world-renowned teacher.

• This new edition adds thirty-two poems by Krishnamacharya that capture the essence of his teachings.

Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who lived to be over 100 years old, was one of the greatest yogis of the modern era. Elements of Krishnamacharya's teaching have become well known around the world through the work of B. K. S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Indra Devi, who all studied with Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar lived and studied with his father all his life and now teaches the full spectrum of Krishnamacharya's yoga. Desikachar has based his method on Krishnamacharya's fundamental concept of viniyoga, which maintains that practices must be continually adapted to the individual's changing needs to achieve the maximum therapeutic value.

In The Heart of Yoga Desikachar offers a distillation of his father's system as well as his own practical approach, which he describes as "a program for the spine at every level--physical, mental, and spiritual." This is the first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to the age-old principles of yoga. Desikachar discusses all the elements of yoga--poses and counterposes, conscious breathing, meditation, and philosophy--and shows how the yoga student may develop a practice tailored to his or her current state of health, age, occupation, and lifestyle.

This is a revised edition of The Heart of Yoga.

Good but not so good
Scent: Mineral Pool, Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Good soap. If you have sensitive skin or cuts on your hands, it will irritate them. I bought 3 different scents and all 3 made gave my hands inflammation. I really like the smell of them. They make my hands feel soft.

Skin is clean and clear
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I love this tallow soap, highly recommend. I had been making my own soap for a few years but the processes was time consuming, found this tallow soap for a reasonable price and am very happy with it! My skin is clean and clear. No weird smells for the tallow, and good size bars that last us awhile.

Great natural soap!!!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Scent: Unscented, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I LOVE this soap! It’s only two ingredients, probably the only one on the market that is so simple yet cleans effectively. My skin felt great after, it wasn’t drying and felt very gentle and lathered well. I’ve been using dove sensitive bar soap for years and could not find a natural soap that didn’t irritate my skin from essential oils. I used this after a day of roller blading outside on a hot day and it stood the test to clean well!
