The Viniyoga of Yoga: Applying Yoga for Healthy Living is the 2008 illustrated paperback that distills the teachings of T. K. V. Desikachar and his son Kausthub into a practical, 391-page roadmap for tailoring yoga to the individual. Unlike one-size-fits-all yoga manuals, this textbook shows how breath, posture and sequencing can be adapted for age, fitness level, injury history—even emotional state—so every practice is safe, effective and personally meaningful. Therapists, yoga teachers and self-motivated students alike value its clear step-by-step protocols for anxiety, back pain, hypertension and insomnia, making it an indispensable desk reference in clinics, studios and home libraries worldwide.

What sets this copy apart is its immaculate interior: clean, unmarked pages mean no deciphering someone else’s notes, while the sturdy spine and crisp illustrations remain fully intact despite minor exterior scuffing. Buyers searching for a gently-used, highly-functional textbook will appreciate that all 150+ photographs, anatomical drawings and practice charts are present and legible—no torn or dog-eared pages to interrupt study or class planning. Publication year 2008 places it after Desikachar’s foundational “Heart of Yoga,” so it incorporates the latest refinements of the Viniyoga lineage without the collector-level price of a first edition.

Collectors and practitioners alike rank this title among the most influential yoga therapy books of the last two decades; demand stays high because it bridges classical yogic philosophy with modern medical evidence. Whether you need a reliable teaching resource, a mental-health support tool, or a thoughtful gift for the serious yogi, this copy delivers premium content in very good condition at a fraction of retail cost—making it a smart, search-friendly addition to any wellness library.
