RECOMMENDED
READING
The
following list is a personal list of books that have helped in my
training as a teacher and overall in Life:
Journey
Into Power and 40 Days to Personal Revolution - Baron
Baptiste
These two books are written by my teacher, Baron Baptiste. They are
both manuals about the Baptiste Style of yoga, as well as provide
guidelines to healthy living, meditation, diet and overall well-being.
They are both excellent.

Spiritual Laws of Success - Deepak Chopra
This is a must read for everyone, regardless of their involvement in
yoga. It provides you with a short list of "living guidelines" focused
on helping you stay focused on the things that matter in life and
letting go of those things over which you have no control. It provides
you with a spiritual but also practical framework for living that
you'll read several times.
The
Bhagavad Gita - Stephen Mitchell translation
This is an ancient text that has been adapted beautifully by Stephen
Mitchell. It tells the story of a warrior who is lamenting over the
potential loss of life and destruction to be caused when he leads his
army into battle. He begins to ask his charioteer questions about life,
and as it turns out, his companion is Krishna (god incarnate). He
begins to share with Arjuna a story about living life to the fullest,
without attachment to results and shows him how he can begin to live
this way. It is truly one of the classical yoga texts.
