For a true aficionado, a yoga book can be a perfect gift. On the other hand, you might simply want to buy one for yourself - why give away something this good?
What makes yoga books such a great purchase, whether as a gift or for yourself, is the sheer variety available. Among the many titles on the shelves right now are yoga books focusing on the following:
- Beginners guides (hundreds)
- Various styles (Ashtanga, Iyengar)
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- For children
- Pathway to holistic health
- For surfers
- Yoga therapy
- For golfers
- For special needs children
- Cookbooks
- For Dummies
- For back pain
- Ten minute workouts
- Tantric sex
- Weight loss
The list is practically endless. The best bet is to spend some time browsing - either in the shop or online. Both have their advantages. In the shop you get to actually leaf through the pages, really see if this is what you're looking for.
On the other hand if you don't know the first thing about the subject, looking online will let you see customer reviews to find out what others, perhaps more knowledgeable than you, thought about each item.
Whichever route you take, you'll end up with something to enjoy - whether it's for gentle relaxation, or to put you through your paces and learn some new poses.
