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.

Dear All

[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.

I knew a great man who was a teacher of Yoga philosophy, snaskrit,pali,Indian logic,studied the koran,bible and various ancient Indian manuscripts. He said he would reccomend ‘Karma Cola’ by Gita Metha. I have read it too! It’s great!

A great set of ebooks for everyone (beginner to advanced!) can be found at www.thecompleteyogasystem.com

DVD,
Real Yoga for Real People by Mark Whitwell

i have [B]light on yoga[/B]…i think this is the most complete guide 4 asana…if u want get deep in asana,but my favorite chapter in in the fist chapter,it talks about philosophy and meaning of yoga,bks iyengar explained well and clear…but if u want a simply one just find out book from divine life society… u can download free from the internet…and yea another recomendation from me is [B]pranayama made easy [/B]by scottshawthis nice 4 beginner & easy to follow:smile:

Hi!

I am just getting into Yoga and would like to do a bit of reading up. and it was very useful.

A book that I have read, which was extremely good for a new yogi, is called “MINDFUL YOGA, MINDFUL LIFE: A GUIDE FOR EVERYDAY PRACTICE”, by CHARLOTTE BELL. Charlotte runs a studio in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has learned from the masters. Her book shares her story, and goes into great detail about the different branches of yoga, and how we need to incorporate them into our lives. I am assuming that Amazon.com carries it, but I know that it is available on Half.com.

Hello all, can anyone recommend any good books on beginners yoga practices. There is so much on the internet that it’s overwhelming.

Hi there, I’ve mentioned this dvd on another post recently, but I’ll post again for you. Real yoga for Real People by Mark Whitwell has transformed my daily practice. Great for beginners and those who have practiced for a while too…hope it helps and enjoy!

Hi everyone!
I am just getting into yoga and i would like to reading.

I am currently reading, and have found helpful, Light on Life by BKS Iyengar. Also, Perfect Health by Deepak Chopra touches on some yoga principles and benefits and also covers other aspects of ayurvedic health.
