REQUIRED READING FOR 200 HOUR YTT: How Yoga Works (paperback)
Most books that you pick up on yoga will either fall into the category of ‘yoga text’ or ‘memoir’. Now I enjoy both of these genres, and I take great delight in reading ancient texts as well as learning of people’s personal yoga journeys. This book though is unusual as it’s written in the form of a novel.
The secrets of ‘how yoga works’ to make us truly whole are revealed here in a delightful story based on how precious teachings reached Tibet form their home in India, over a thousand years ago.
