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.

The pronunciation of Sanskrit words in this is so so so bad that it’s a little off putting. The way it’s read does not at all match Iyengar‘s timbre. Surely an Indian voice artist could have done the recording? The content is great, but the presentation is shonky.

Terrible pronunciation

I like Light On Life because it gives so many insights to look at life from different perspectives wether you practice yoga or not.

I like the clarity of BKS Iyengar’s words, his choice of metafors and the way he invites to look deeper. The layeredness of this book is infinite.

Well spoken with great enthousiasme and tone of voice in pleasant manner.

Delightful book for a lifetime
