The following are some of my favorite yoga and related reading titles.
The Tree of Yoga and
Light on Life by B.K.S. Iyengar also recommended are Light on Yoga and
Light on Pranayama
A wonderful overview on yoga, the practice and philosophy for newcomers:
Living Yoga, a Comprehensive Guide to Daily Life by Georg Feuerstein
Living Your Yoga by Judith Lasater
The Heart of Yoga by T.K.V. Desikachar
