The Best on Authentic Yoga - Philosophy & PracticeNovember 19, 2008 I've been doing Yoga for almost 10 years (honestly, on and off) and recently I decided to Yoga sincerely to get rid of my backpain. My backpain vanished in 7 weeks completely and am feeling really vibrant! Earlier, I tried chiropractor / massages, it gave only temporary relief. Having realized that value of Yoga, I got intersted in knowing the philosophy as well as other asanas. During my research, most of the books and dvds I looked into are junk as they have commercialized and giving some substandard yoga. Finally, I've found this book to be the best and also validated with some authentic yoga masters. Thanks to the author who has presented this great ancient science of mind, body & soul and given it to the world in a practical format!

I also reccomend the following 2 books: 1)The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice by T. K. V. Desikachar (seminal book on Yoga) 2)The Sivananda Companion to Yoga (excellent for begginer/intermediate) (Yoga 101 Essential Tips by Sivananda Yoga Center is also good)

This is a great book. I especially love the yoga plans given in the end and prescriptions. Great buy. If you truly want to link in to hatha yoga. Get this.
If you have one comprehensive book on yoga this should be it.June 11, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book generally shows the progression of the poses from beginner to advanced. You will not be talked down to in this book. I like having more information then I need so that I can reference back and progress when I'm ready.
