Props for Yoga

Following the success of A Chair for Yoga, Eyal Shifroni now expands his work to cover the "classic" Iyengar Yoga props, such as blankets, blocks, belts, walls, bolsters and ropes. This practical guide focuses on standing asana, containing ample photos to accompany the step-by-step instructions.

In addition, this guide is enriched by a short introduction to each family of asanas, accompanied with excerpts from B.K.S. Iyengar and other important teachers as well as with the author's own personal perspectives, comments on the physiological effects of the presented variations and tips for improving the practice.

Eyal Shifroni is a Senior Iyengar yoga teacher and holds a Ph.D degree in Computer Science. He directs the Iyengar Yoga Center of Zichron-Ya’akov in Israel and conducts yoga workshops in Israel and around the world.
