The Iyengar yoga chair is one of my favorite class props, but it can be a little daunting to get to grips with. If you are interested in getting one to aid your home practice then I recommend the book 'A Chair For Yoga' to help you on your way.
This is a really practical guide and will teach you everything you need to know about using a chair to improve your practice, whatever your level.
The author uses simple, accurate language and focuses on the specific benefits of using the chair for some familiar postures. There are some nice tips for beginners, in terms of teaching how to relax and soften into the poses, and also shows you how to extend your range and duration if your level is more advanced.
Here's a little youtube guide if you need some more convincing...i love the cat spine vest the lady is wearing!
