The Light on Life Study Pack is for those who want a lasting resource — something you can return to in teaching and practice. It gathers everything from the Yoga Readers cycle on B.K.S. Iyengar’s Light on Life: the inward journey through the five kośas, from the physical body to living freedom. Organised so you can study, teach from, and revisit it.

Live Yoga Readers gatherings remain free. This pack is the optional companion for people who want the recordings and the written tools in one place.

What’s included

1. Full access to all study session recordings
All Yoga Readers meetings on Light on Life — opening gathering through closing session. Watch and rewatch at your own pace. Useful if you join late, miss a Sunday, or want to sit with a theme again.

2. Study Companion (PDF)
Reading schedule, main themes, a short summary, focus questions, reflection prompts, and Sanskrit terms for every gathering — including compact combined units for Chapters 4–5 and 6–7.

3. Session essays
One essay per gathering on a single living theme: starting where we are; living between Earth and Sky; the body as the child of the soul; energy that needs a vessel; the ice cream and the lens; no retirement for the yogi; what remains after the last page. Written to sit beside the chapter, not to replace it.

4. Guiding and reflection questions
The focus questions and prompts from the cycle, organised by session. A practical tool for your own notebook, or for students and study groups.

5. Sanskrit terms
Core terms from Light on Life with IAST transliteration and brief explanations — kośa, prakṛti, puruṣa, prāṇa, kleśa, buddhi, samādhi, kaivalya, and the rest of the map.

6. Scholar–practitioner perspective
Sessions led by me — an Iyengar Yoga teacher and scholar of yoga philosophy. Sanskrit sources, Iyengar’s embodied commentary, and the questions that actually arise when the book meets a householder’s week.

This is especially useful for

• Iyengar Yoga teachers and trainees
• Practitioners who want the kośas as a way of seeing a life, not only a chart
• Anyone who wants both philosophical depth and something they can take to the mat
• Those who prefer a curated file they can return to as practice changes
