If you want to be a yoga instructor, read those books, and what books should be recommended for learning yoga?
What books on yoga should be recommended?
There are actually many books on yoga, but if you really subdivide them, there are few books that can really be put on the table. The following categories are recommended:
1. Classic Yoga Books (also known as the three Yoga classics):
1. The Yoga Sutra, which mainly talks about the development history and philosophy of yoga, involves some asanas.
2. "the Light of Yoga" & "the Light of Hatha Yoga", these are two books, but the individual is in the same category, mainly talking about the philosophy of yoga, the explanation of some classical asanas and some proper names of yoga.
3. The Bhagavad Gita is mainly about Indian culture and its spiritual core, as well as philosophy.
Among the three classics of yoga, the content is more philosophical, and because yoga originated from Buddhism, there are quite a few of the classical philosophy, which actually have something to do with Buddhism.
If you are new to yoga, it is not recommended to read these books directly. it is basically difficult to read them. If you have a certain foundation in yoga, you will gain more from these books at the spiritual level.
Second, relatively practical books:
1. "the Heart of Yoga", this book comes from the Yoga Sutra, but the most important content of the book is to explain thoroughly the part of "breathing" in yoga. Breathing is completely regarded as an art to explain in detail the steps of breathing in yoga and systematically explain the process of practice.
2. "Shining Life", this book is the work of a generation of yoga master "Iyengar". It mainly expounds Iyengar's understanding and understanding of yoga, including some asanas.
3. "Iyengar Yoga", this book is also about Iyengar, but this book is about the content of "Iyengar Yoga" in the yoga school, and the asana part involved is basically Iyengar.
4. "the talents of Yoga", this book more suggests people engaged in yoga education to take a look. The book is mainly about the application of yoga philosophy to daily life, from family, love and sex, health and healing, meditation and death. Yoga and life, do a complete guidance and integration, but also provide a lot of valuable experience and advice to yoga teachers.
