Books Every Yogi Should Read

1. "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran
This beautiful book is one flowing song musing on a variety of subjects ranging from work to crime and punishment.
"Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed.
For love is sufficient unto love.
...Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself."

2. "Yoga: the Iyengar Way" by Silva, Mira and Shyam Mehta
While it is best to seek to learn from a guru, you could essentially teach yourself yoga with this comprehensive guide. This was recommended to me by my guru.

3. "Power Versus Force" by Doctor David Hawkins
A life philosophy on why things are the way they are and how to change the world. He believes that everything can be measured on a scale of conciousness. Dr. Hawkins also teaches techniques for muscle testing.
