This is a set of two CD ROMs that has been developed under the guidance of Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, Smt. Geeta S. Iyengar and Prashant S. Iyengar.

It consists of five modules. An introduction on yoga, on asanas, on the practice of asanas, on Guruji and his early life and on Geetaji and her early life. The last part of the introduction includes short videos on Guruji speaking on various aspects of yoga ranging from Yoga in general to the health benefits, yoga for women to meditation.

The second module elaborates the basic aspects of 23 fundamental asanas. There is a video presentation of each asana with emphasis being given not only to the final pose but also to getting into and coming out of the pose. Further, the process of the asana (which includes all the three steps involved) is sub divided into "action points" where one gets to learn some of the subtleties of the pose.

This CD-ROM contains four hours of audio instructions, 20 minutes of video and more than 1000 images superimposed with animation. This section can safely be used to initiate a novice into yoga.

The third module is on "restorative asanas" and is pictorially depicting the postures that can be done for different ailments. There is an interesting section on 'Yoga Class' where one can program one's own class by selecting the sequence of postures and the duration for which one intends to perform these. This module would be of great use to beginners.

The final module on anatomy contains pictorial presentation of the anatomical and physiological systems.

These CD-ROMs cannot substitute any book or a yoga class or a yoga teacher. Technically, the CD-ROM is well presented and also user friendly.

All in all this CD-ROM is strongly recommended for beginner and intermediate level student and students who do not have an access to a good teacher.
