In fifty essays, stories, and interviews, well-known contributors
from the international yoga world celebrate the work of yoga
pioneer B K S Iyengar. A revered Indian yoga master, Iyengar has
been the single most influential person in spreading the practice
of yoga throughout the world. B K S Iyengar was recognized in
"TIME" magazine's 2004 list of the 100 most powerful and
influential people on the planet. Compiled and introduced by Kofi
Busia, one of the most dedicated and internationally renowned of
Iyengar's students, the contributions represent an internationally
diverse group of Iyengar yoga teachers as well as several
celebrities who have been deeply touched by Iyengar's teachings.
This is the only book on the life and work of Iyengar, as seen
through the eyes of friends and senior students. It brings a deep
understanding of the man as well as his unique approach to yoga.
The contributors address the physical practice of yoga, yoga
philosophy, and how yoga affects one's life, and it includes
anecdotes about time spent with Iyengar. The publication of the
book is timed with a conference celebrating Mr Iyengar's life and
work: in July 2007, the Yogacharya Festival, a conference in honour
of the life and work of B K S Iyengar, will be held in Santa Clara,
California. The weeklong festival is expected to draw over 2,000
participants.
