28 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent, in depth for an introduction, still accessible if you are familiar with basic yoga concepts/terminology. No nonsense!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Facts not fiction. Well, educated guesses! As an ex-student of Sanskrit and ex-practitioner of hatha yoga, very interesting.
