Acknowledgments
Original edition
'The Spiritual Body' published in Griffith Review (Winter 2004) contains a version of parts of this work.
Chapter 14 'Paralipsis' was first published in an earlier version in the online journal TEXT Vol 6 No 1 April 2002
'Yoga and Writing: Stages: One' had its beginning in an article published in the Iyengar Yoga Association of Australia Newsletter, 1987.
Thanks to Alison, Jan, and Nigel for readings of early drafts, and to my editor Saugata Mukherjee at Rupa for his good work.
Earlier versions of parts of this work were written for the dissertation for a Doctor of Philosophy in Writing, awarded by Griffith University in 2003. I thank the School of Arts at Griffith Gold Coast for its support during that time.
My thanks go to all my yoga teachers: to Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, who has taught us all and kindly allowed this book to be dedicated to him and permitted the extensive quotations from his work; to Geetha Iyengar and Prashant Iyengar; to Kay Parry and all the teachers and long-time regulars at Bondi Junction; to all my other teachers in Australia, USA and India; and to all the students who have also taught me.

Afterword to ebook edition of Sun Square Moon
A few remarks:
Having this little book accepted for publication by Professor P Lal at Writers Workshop Kolkata was possibly my happiest publication experience.
I found this little book has appealed more to writers and others involved in creative work than yoga practitioners particularly.
I retain my deepest gratitude and respect for BKS Iyengar, our beloved Guruji, and his extraordinary impact on our world, and continue to return whenever I can to do classes with my long-time teacher Kay
Parry, while seeking out Iyengar teachers where I can on my travels.
I hope that the wide and deep appreciation of yoga's lessons and gifts will resist the trends to deny history to the practice and spread of yoga. The chapter on Tradition and Authority in Sun Square Moon deals with this. It's some years since I completed this book and there have been some very good and interesting studies of modern postural yoga published since, and since N Sjoman's history. I recommend Mark Singleton's The Yoga Body: The Origins of Modern Posture Practice which in turn refers to important works by Joseph Alter and Elizabeth de Michelis.
