Read about another book on the list.Light on Yoga: The Bible of Modern Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar
I like to think of this book as the “Yoga-pedia.” Originally published in 1966, it’s one of the first yoga manuals made widely available in the West. In it, renowned yogi B.K.S. Iyengar provides in-depth teaching on yoga asana, or poses, complete with over 600 photographs and detailed explanations. But this book is so much more than just a practice manual! It also includes yogic philosophy, breathwork techniques, the workings of the internal body in yoga practice, and more. This is a must-have book for all yogis interested in a more traditional approach to modern yoga. Plus, it was written in the 1960s, which automatically makes it cooler. I may or may not pretend I’m George Harrison when I read it.
