I agree."

If a posture is causing pain it is helpful to use props. The science of body work, and our understanding of anatonmy and physiology has made tremendous srides in yoga.
An Iyengar studio could be mistaken for some sort of s & m chamber, with all the props, but they are all used to help the body compensate for its current limitations.
i learned not to long ago, if it hurts...back off, breathe and hold where you are comfortable.

If your working by yourself then you could do a lot worse than to simply obtain the A.'.A.'. syllabus for Student, 0=0 & 1=10 Grades, which would give you a brilliant grounding.

I would also recommend anything by DuQuette for its simplicity of language and readability.

A.C's writing, although profound, can be a bit much at times, sometimes its nice to chew on something a bit less, well; chewy.
