Light on Yoga (book) / Nauli

I recently borrowed Light on Yoga, the BKS Iyengar book, from my library. Gotta love interlibrary loans! I have this book on my wish list, but I think it might move down in priority a bit. After browsing it, I think it is a great overall resource on yoga and a good addition for any personal library. I would recommend it for anyone who asks me, "if I could learn about yoga from one book, what should I buy?"

I'm going to delve a bit more in depth on many yoga topics. And with the Yoga Sutras book I already have, and the Ashtanga poses workbook, I pretty much cover most of what I need right n0w from Light on Yoga.

I did learn more about the cleansing process of Nauli from this book. It something Kathy recently introduced to me and I had not piped up in class to ask more about it. Reading about Nauli in the book has help shed some "Light".
