In " The Heart of Yoga" Desikachar offers a distillation of his fathers system as well as his own practical approach which he describes as "a program for the spine at every level--physical mental & spiritual." This is the first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to the age-old principles of yoga. Desikachar discusses all the elements of yoga--poses & counterposes conscious breathing meditation & philosophy--and shows how the yoga student may develop a practice tailored to his or her current state of health age occupation & lifestyle.
