A Beginner's Guide to the Roots of Yoga: How to create a more authentic practice

I have dipped my toes in and out of yoga for years now but always felt there was something missing in my practice. I knew there was more to the practice than the poses I was being shown in classes but I was overwhelmed by online information— either appropriated or incredibly dense— when looking for more. This book has given me the introduction to yoga as a whole as well as a path to continue my journey I have been searching for for years. This is such a well written book and everything I have been searching for in a beginners guide to yoga.

This book is well written and thoughtful, the author shares with you her sincere thoughts on the ancestral practice of yoga. I think it’s a great read for anyone who wants to learn more about yoga and practice it authentically. I for one was happy that it was broken down in easy to understand sections.

One of the best books I’ve read on beginning an authentic yoga practice. The author is extremely knowledgable and breaks concepts down in an easy to understand way. Highly recommend!

The roots of yoga explains the basics of yoga. It helped me understand a different level. I didn't realize that the yoga in the us is not supposed to be. I appreciated that the understanding of how yoga in the east is more entwined with the daily life. The book always the reader to understand the history and how it should be practiced.
