Most well rounded books

If you had someone whom you knew would not go to a yoga class and would only begin on their own and had to choose one book for a beginner that outlines a good routine, not one that is 2 hours long, and has some beginning breathing teachniques what book do you think is the most basic but most complete, for an age range between 20-50 of people who dont have a serious physical issue?

any ideas on a good intermediate book for those who want to take it a step farther?

thanks

I would give them a video, not a book. Which video depends on who it is.

Hi Tubeseeker,

I have had these two books for years and don’t feel the need to keep buying more books on yoga…

Amazon.com: Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha: Books: Swami Satyananda Saraswati

and Light on Yoga by BKS Iyengar…
Amazon.com: Light on Yoga: Books: B.K.S. Iyengar

be in peace,
Soul
