Ladies! Build Your Yoga Education At Home 🙂
I know when I first got into yoga the FIRST thing I did was to buy a book. I’m a fiend when it comes to books 🙂
The thing is that there are so many yoga books out there and I had no idea which were the best yoga books to buy, let alone yoga books that were accessible and not too full of yoga jargon with concepts that at that time, I wasn’t ready to digest.
I’ve decided to offer you some of my favorite yoga books for you to buy (or borrow from the Library. I’m a huge Library proponent) in order to enhance your yoga and health know-how!
I have to disclose fully that they do have a bit of a female bias, but for my male subscribers, you’ll still find a wealth of information applicable to both men and women.
This whole thing was inspired by the crazy amount of emails that I get asking for advice about this very subject 🙂
Here’s the latest email from one of you lovely folks:
I am a beginner at yoga and just subscribed to your podcasts. I am interested in reading more about yoga and was wondering if there are any books you would recommend?
I decided to create a video for you to check out some of the best yoga books for women that you can get, especially if you are a beginner.
You’ll get all the in depth info from the video, but if you’re just not a video person I’m linking to all the books that I mention below.
All links to these books are using my Amazon Affiliate links, which will give me a little bit of cash to buy even more yoga books 😉
Wouldn’t you like to support my yoga reading habits? HA!
The Women’s Book of Yoga and Health by Linda Sparrowe and Patricia Walden
This is one of my all time favorites! I use it for reference all the time. This is a MUST for your yoga library.
Relax and Renew by Judith Lasater
I was able to build a restorative yoga practice at home following some of her sequences. So much great information.
Yoga From The Inside Out: Making Peace With Your Body Through Yoga by Christina Sell
I have more sticky notes in this book than in any other book in my Yoga Library! Sometimes I just open it and use one of Christina’s sentences to inspire an entire class 😀
Ayurveda For Women by Dr. Robert Svoboda
This was the first Ayurveda book that I bought. I now a own a bunch more by Dr. Svoboda and have learned tons about this incredible way of life.
mother and daughter wisdom
Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Creating a Legacy of Physical and Emotional Health by Christiane Northrup
I bought this book when I found out I was pregnant. At first I thought that it was meant to be a book for mother’s of daughters but then I realized that it was a book for daughters. All women are daughters. All women have mothers, living, dead or absent. I guarantee that you will be inspired by what you read in this book and how it can help you be as healthy as you can be.
Do you have any books to add to this list?
Please share them in the comments below! I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s looking to build her yoga library 😉
{ 3 comments… read them below or add one }
I’ve read all but one of those (some in my own personal library that most people call Barnes & Noble). Loved all of them.
Would have to add Living Your Yoga to that list. It was my first yoga book (I was just a kid omg!) bit I’ve owned several copies an I keep loaning them out and never getting them back, so other people must like it too. It’s much less asana focused and much more inward focused…as the title implies. Most libraries have a copy or can get one thru inner-library loan 🙂
Absolutely agreed lovely one! Living Your Yoga is TOTALLY one that I forgot to mention 🙂 Great call, and thanks for reminding me 😀
It may take time to get the hang of it. But yoga is awesome when you finally learn on how to do it right.
