[QUOTE=Trinity;5554]Three great yoga books:
…Die-hard carnivores beware - Jivanmukti Yoga (soul liberation) adheres to the principle of ahimsa (non-violence) and promotes a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle…
[/QUOTE]
This is a bit understated as they are so “adherent” they themselves are violent and therefore violate ahimsa in the pursuit of guarding its doors. How ironic.

A good book on kundalini yoga is " kundalini " written by shri vibhakarji pandya

If you find an english translation, ( I have one in romanian) it is a very nice way to know yoga in it’s traditional context.
Basically it is a translation by Jean Varenne (GALLIMARD, 1974), it contains the Upanishads about yoga, it has very good introduction and it’s full of notes, those being explained in separate chapters.
Those who know the upanishads, know that there is very little about hatha yoga (asana) more on pranayama, and a lot about the other limbs. I especially like the parts about siddhis. 
I think that is a bit of ancient advertising … even with the advise not to make them as objects of desire. (That just make them more desirable )

Yes Nichole, thank you; i don’t necessarily need to induce myself with more questions, maybey incomplete for searching to begin with; yet, am interested in the experiences that through some influential yoga book offered …and then again, shared.
Hi,
There are so many books that can be recommended. Before I make my recommendation, may I ask a few questions in return.
Do you want to study asanas or do you want to study the philosophy behind yoga?
What is your inner motivation for studying yoga?
Have you done yoga before or are you totally new to yoga?
Do you have a teacher or are you going to attempt yoga on your own?
Your responses to these questions will help everybody to recommend the most appropriate literature for you.

[B]Re : New to Yoga[/B]
I would like to commence practicing Yoga at home, for up to 1 hour per day, 7 days per week. Initially, my interest is in achieving higher levels of physical fitness.
Can you please recommend a book or books with Yoga ‘programmes’ that I could follow ?
Thank you.
Can anyone please offer a response to my question ?
Thank you.
I first heard of Baron Baptiste in sharingsuccess.tv. I should say, I haven’t read his book, but I’ve done a fair bit of research on the person and he just seems down to earth. I love what he had to say about energy flowing through the body and through the world.
You know a true teacher when he is able to speak even to a conservative audience.
Anyways, I think this might be something to look in to.
I know that he does have at least one book available.
