SPECIAL SECTION: THE THERAPEUTIC YOGA OF YOGACHARYA B.K.S. IYENGAR

It may be said that the one person most responsible for the explosion of interest in using asana and pranayama "therapeutically" is B.K.S. Iyengar. We hesitate to use the term "therapeutic Yoga" because it may give the misleading impression that there are different kinds of Yoga, with "therapeutic Yoga" being but one variety.B.K.S. Iyengar has spent his lifetime illuminating the fact that all Yoga is therapeutic. It is the ultimate art and science for liberating man from all suffering—physical, mental, and spiritual. Physical and mental well-being are side-benefits of one's efforts on the path of Yoga. Major benefits to say the least, but side benefits nonetheless.
