Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Very good book . Loads of very useful information

You will need to read this book a few times to get the most out of it, very good book!

This is the book to give you the full picture of what Hatha yoga really is, although you have to put it into a historical perspective as some of the practices are a bit "out there". Anybody that wants a deeper understanding of yoga should read this book first. This gives a view of where yoga has come from. I cannot recommend this book enough, I could hardly put it down, and I will re-read it in six month's or so.

Classic for the Yogi

Excellent paper quality and print . Size of the book is good and the knowledge contained in this book cannot be compared to any other book.

Loved this book so useful for my Yoga teacher training course in 2008

I chose this book because I wanted something introductory and easy to follow. This ticks both boxes and more. The layout is clear and concise and there are diagrams too that help to illustrate the postures. It covers all aspects of Hatha yoga, from beginners to advanced, yet it's still a fantastic read for somebody new to the practice. If you're just starting out or have years of experience this is the book for you. Highly recommended!

I simply love Bihar books. Every time I read them I start to realise that there's much more to yoga than asana. The book is well written, language is simple and precise.

Very detailed. This book helps me understand yoga in a completely different perspective that blows my mind

Hatha yoga as we know it today has many roots in this work, which is actually comparatively recent, being "only" a few hundred years old. The author very nicely explains each verse in clear, modern English, and her grasp of, and passion for the topic is present. The Pradiipika needs this sort of analysis, because just reading a translation of the verses does very little in getting to what the original creator of the work meant in many cases. Many practices are given, from cleansing techniques, to bandhas and other bodily-related methods, to experiencing various meditative states of consciousness.
