Extremely worthwhile, esp for the integration of philosophy
This is one of the very best yoga books for those interested in a comprehensive and integrated view of yoga philosophy, asana practice and pranayama as a classical means of personal development and transformation still relevant for today. Mohan was a long time student of Krishnamacharya.
