    After buying the author's first book titled A Chair for Yoga I decided to buy Volumes I, II, & III of the same author's books on the use of props for seated, standing and inverted asanas. This is a great book for those who want to practise Iyengar yoga at home and use props. However, don't expect shiny, glossy pages like a book published by the likes of Dorling Kindersley. However, the information between the front and back covers is second to none.

    Excellent book for those who wish to practise yoga with the proper alignment. Execute the posture the correct way and reap benefits. A little change in body alignment and there is no benefit. The best way is to practise under the eyes of a teacher. If it is not possible to do so then this book offer best help.
    What I like about this book is that it is aimed at beginners and intermediates with detailed explanations and clear photographs. Experts too would enjoy going through this.

    I have "chairs for yoga" and "vol 2" of Eyal Shifroni's "Pros for Yoga". Have to admit this is a number one book for props, clear instructions and extensive alternatives to cater different body situation.

    This is not for beginners, one has to have experience at class and want more for home set up / practise.

    I have been attending Iyengar yoga class for more than 3.5 years and I benefit a lot from Eyal's book series. Home practises and guidance from the book becomes my daily routine.

    Très bel ouvrage sur l'utilisation des supports en yoga Iyengar. Les photos sont précises, les postures ajustées, et les commentaires (en anglais) portent autant sur la technique que sur le ressenti. C'est véritablement un livre précieux que je recommande à tous les pratiquants de yoga.
    J'attends avec impatience les autres tomes.
