| Greetings, dear yogis.
I was wondering if anyone of you, dear friends, could help me out finding a book(or a number of books) that could give me as a beginner a good introduction on yoga and a great basement starting with Hatha.
Not only Im interested in Hatha in particular but also in everything that has to do with breathing techniques(hatha too no?) and energy flows(chakras etc..)
I have had trouble finding a good quality literature since there are so many books and I suspect that most of them can turn out to be a waste of time in a long run.
Something tells me that there are really good and famous books on the market that most of you might know about that could lead a beginner through the basement to a nice level without a need of finding a studio.
I live in a very small town where people believe that yoga is either some kind of woodoo or a sport he-he =)
Many thanks in advance!

Location: UK .... betwixt the two cities ! | The first book (which I bought by chance) was The Yoga Bible by Christina Brown.
It is a lovely simple book presented in a way that is easily understood by a beginner with plenty of practical information.
I still find it immensely useful three years into a practice and is a firm favourite in my now rather large and comprehensive collection. |

I also meant to say books are no substitute for a teacher, I am sure you will be able to find somewhere if you search your area online. |

| You really should find a teacher. But failing that - lots of the new glossy books are just that. Gloss. I really like a book called The Complete Yoga Book by James HEWITT ISBN 0 7529 0041 2. It is not at all glossy, but gives you an overview of many, many aspects of yoga. It may be out of print, so try Amazon. |
