Here Iyengar explores the yogic goal to integrate the different parts of the self (body, emotions, mind and soul) the role that the yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path and how yoga can transform our lives and help us to live in harmony with the world around us. Iyengar explains this new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey.
