BEST books on yoga

Yoga is an ancient practice of Indian origin that has become popular the world over for its physical and mental benefits. Though Yoga should be learned from a teacher, books and videos can be valuable supplements. Here are two books that have become famous with good reason. I personally have learned from reading BKS Iyengar’s books over more than 35 years. The clarity, precision, and level of detailed guidance he provides are unmatched by any other source that I am aware of.

Warning! Like other forms of physical activity, can lead to harm if practice incorrectly or by persons who have a medical condition that may be exacerbated by certain physical activities. Those practicing yoga should do so under the guidance of a trained yoga teacher and, if they have any medical conditions or concerns, should consult their physician
