New to yoga

Hello everybody,
I am interested in hatha yoga and want to understand it and do it independently .It will be helpful if somebody can recommend a comprehnsive book about hatha yoga which can be a complete teacher in its self.

my 2 cents is that no matter how good the book is, you will still need a good teacher to begin with. he can at least point out your mistake and make sure that you don’t hurt yourself when learning the asana.
