T.K.V. Desikachar, one of the world's foremost proponents of yoga, has created a superlative text in his work, The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice. Perhaps the most thorough book on the subject, 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 book to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to the age-old practices of yoga.
