Blocks for a Yoga Practice
.
An e-guide to Iyengar Yoga practice with blocks
by David Jacobs & Jürgen Meusel
This guide is dedicated to Yogacharya Shri B.K.S. Iyengar
in honour and appreciation of his Life and Work.
About the Guide
Blocks for a yoga practice compiled by David Jacobs and Jürgen Meusel
is a guide, with photographs and basic instructions of the many uses
of blocks in a yoga practice.
The e-book is a pdf.file and has 200 pages with more than 440 photographs.
(The pdf.file is 281MB also as WORD.doc 68.4MB)
The block is used on its own, in pairs or even sets and sometimes
enhances the use of other props, such as benches, chairs and the wall.
We have selected some of the most practised asanas.
There are many more sub-poses and advanced asanas,
where the blocks can be used.
It is our hope that this guide based on our
experience and ideas, will be of some value.
