Not the easiest read because there is a lot of information and a lot to take in, so it was best digested for me in small chunks over a period of time. A lot to reflect on. This is a great resource if you want to take your personal yoga practice to the next level and infuse it with depth and meaning.

I'm just a yoga newbie, so a lot of it went over my head. In particular, I didn't enjoy the breakdown of the Yoga Sutras at the end of the book. However, the parts I found useful were very good, and I feel more welcome and confident in my yoga practice for having read this.

One of the most concise and instructional books I've read on the overarching practice of yoga. As well as the main text, it contains a translation and commentary on Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, which I found clear and relatable. If I was asked to recommend a book to start your exploration of yoga, I would currently go for this one.

This has some good information, but it's so dramatic that it's almost a mockery of itself. This book is why so many people feel yoga is inaccessible.

A great book to reflect over and provides some really wonderful insights into what is a very healing and balanced approach to yoga. You go through the whole thing thinking "This man speaks sense". I'm not sure I'm quite ready to incorporate all of it into my practice (and some of it I might never), but the parts that I have, have made a difference already. A great one for people looking to start to delve a bit deeper into a very authentic, yet adaptable philosophy of yoga.

Highly recommend for deepening your yoga practice and understanding the true meaning and origins of yoga.

Definitely an (the?) essential yoga text, with a focus on making yoga more than just something one does in a studio. As the title indicates, this is about the personal practice of yoga: the things that a person does to put the philosophy into action. The perfect starting point.
