Question from Gautam: "Which is the best Book to learn yoga?" What are the favorite books you've learned from?
This question was asked on our facebook page and received several answers - do you have any other advice?

Angel: ‎"Yoga: liberty and immortality" a good book bt written in french.


Ekta: Yoga by BKS Iyengar


Gautam: @Angel thanks.but i want english version


Ranika: Learn under an instructor and then read for progressing. Yoga is not like cooking., where a cookery book will help. We need an instructor to learn the basics.


Andrea: Asana,Pranayama,Mudra,Bandha By Swami Satyananda saraswati


Ian: ‎"Autoperfection with Hatha Yoga" is an excellent book. Look for an instructor, it's important.


Shammi: Many books but "Light on Yoga" By B.K.S. Iyengar seems like a bible


Harte: Swami sivananda's and baba ram dev's books are good..


Michelle: yoga sutra Patanjali


Fred: Congrats on the decision to start doing yoga. Once you find a good book, Practice yoga with patience. Pushing yourself more than your body can handle will amount to non violence. Maintain a 'Yoga Diary or Journal' Right from day 1. Record all the asanas/pranayama etc.,. Recording how you feel before, during and after the yoga session too will be immensely helpful to you in your yoga practice. God Bless :-)


Yenny: I love "Light on Yoga" too...


Nicole: a proper translation of patanjali's yoga sutras,and bks iyengar's "light on yoga"


Maria: The Complete Illustrated Book of YOGA" by Swami Vishnu-Devananda
Books by the Sivananda Yoga Centre: "Beginner's guide to Yoga", "YOGA Mind and Body".


Bela: books are for reading & learning but for practising yoga find a good teacher then learn yoga from him or her


Sunita: books with give u knowledge ab yoga but best is skilld teacher
