My recommendations for people interested in learning more about yoga : "The Bhagavad Gita" is a Hindu scripture that is often studied in the context of yoga. It is a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and the god Krishna, and it covers a wide range of philosophical and spiritual topics. "Light on Yoga" by B.K.S. Iyengar is a comprehensive guide to the practice of yoga. It covers the history and philosophy of yoga, as well as detailed instructions on how to perform various yoga poses. "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" is a collection of 196 aphorisms (sutras) that form the basis of the philosophy of yoga. It covers topics such as the nature of consciousness, the practice of meditation, and the path to enlightenment. "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda is a spiritual classic that tells the story of the author's journey to enlightenment through yoga and meditation. "Yoga for Wellness" by Gary Kraftsow is a more modern book that focuses on the health benefits of yoga. It covers how to use yoga as a tool for healing and stress management. read less
