After an illustrious lifetime of expounding yogic wisdom to the eager masses, it only seems fitting that B.K.S. Iyengar, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the modern-day yoga bible, turns his gaze toward yoga's foundational philosophical text, the Yoga Sutras. In Core of the Yoga Sutras, Mr. Iyengar provides unique commentary on Patanjali's 196 aphorisms that only someone with his experience and authority can bring to the work. B.K.S.

Yoga Book Giveaway: Two Signed Copies of Hell-Bent!
Like many yogis, I read/browse a crap-ton of yoga books every year because it's just one of those things I love to do. It makes me happy, inspires me, and (I like to think) helps make me a well-rounded yogi. If you follow Daily Cup of Yoga on Twitter you'll know I recently declared Hell-Bent: Obsession, Pain, and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Competitive Yoga by Benjamin Lorr as my favorite yoga memoir of 2012.

The Science of Yoga introduces modern-day yogis to A Treatise on the Yoga Philosophy by N.C. Paul
Devoted much of the evening to devouring William J. Broad's soon-to-be-released book, The Science of Yoga. Not many candle-burning, page-turning yoga books out there, but this is definitely one of them. Tough book to put down. There's something uniquely special about a science-focused yoga book that doesn't induce immediate bouts of involuntary savasana. Needless to say, I'm entertained and enjoying the book. Perhaps less exciting than some of the more hyped-up claims in the book, in the … [Read more...] about The Science of Yoga introduces modern-day yogis to A Treatise on the Yoga Philosophy by N.C.
