When looking for books on Yoga, I had no idea where to start and I didn't want to read some...American trying to cash in book. I saw this book and it seemed real. Wow, I'm glad this is the first book I read on Yoga. Georg Feurstein fully knows and understands the essence of Yoga. The book touches on everything from the history of Yoga to a Yogi's diet. I like how Feurstein always refers back to the old Sanskrit texts of Yogi practices. However, if you are looking for a book where you actually do the postures then look for another book because this book doesn't satisfy that. You should read all you can about Yoga before attempting it, I know my presumptions on Yoga have been changed from reading this book.

This book gave me a clearer understanding of Yoga. My greatest compliment is that it sustained my interest enough to read the book to the end. I enjoyed the humanistic tone of the book, and the simple ordering and structure of topics which brought clarity to a potentially overwhelming subject. I look forward very much to reading more of Georg Feuerstein's books.

I'm in training to become a Yoga teacher. This is a book I will come back over and over again to share information with my students when I start teaching.

Though I don't practice Yoga, just Qi-Gong. I find this book very informative and a must have to read for those not know much or history of the spirituality of Yoga. All the different Yoga, beliefs, and what you may not know of any of the Yoga you might had/is practicing.

This book is amazing! I learned so much that no one is really about to talk about in a yoga class. The history of yoga was only scratching the surface, but it was still so much to absorb. This is a powerful book.

Required for my yoga teacher training, it is a great introduction to yoga and its philosophy. I love to come back to the book for reference and better understanding of yoga practice as a whole not just the physical aspect but all aspect of yoga especially the philosophical part.
Being very foreign to the philosophical yoga concept, I love the accessibility of book. It is easy to read. It is easy to use as reference. Hard concepts are clearly explained.
One book to read if you want to get a deeper sense of philosophical yoga is "The Path of Yoga." Enjoy

I found this book on yoga to be vary informative. If you are a beginner in yoga it will give you terrific foundation to start with. If you are already well versed in the yogic philosophies then it's an excellent review for the reader. So all around this book is solid, and packed with really good info. :)

This book helped me understand this beautiful art. It iniciates a pearson in this ancient and rich culture.

Awesome and informative book! Pleasant and enjoyable! It was in the excellent condition that it was described.

I have found the book very interesting and helpful in my study of Yoga. It is a very easy read and covers in detail my subjects I am interested in.
