Please note the practice given by Mr Iyengar may differ from this list as impossable postures shall be ommitted or modified as appropriate. As the bodily construction of each human being is different, it is important to practice the asanas accordingly. The benefit to be had from each asana or pranayama can be derived just as well from another that better suits the structure of a person's body. Some asanas are not suitable for particular people and may be painfull. - Sri K P Jois - Yogamala
