It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: Gateway to Enlightenment Book Two
by
Rama Jyoti Vernon
annwagoner
, August 28, 2019
There's no book on the planet like this one! Book Two of the Yoga Sutras takes the reader on a deep dive in to the practices of Yoga, which is so much more than the postures. I learned how to remove the obstacles to my happiness, avoid the pains of the future, and discover new kinds of insight. Rama spends a great deal of time explaining all the nuances of Karma. She also explains the ethical codes of action (Yamas) and observances (niyamas) that are the foundations of Yoga. And her understanding of the breath (pranayama) is second only to Patanjali himself. Her definition of the word says it all: "Pranayama may also be defined as to bring forth the Eternal Cosmic Vibration into this field of nature or creation." Learn how to balance the incoming and outgoing breath and the flow through the left and right nostrils and find the world transformed. The workbooks exercises can also provide Yoga Teachers with plenty of material for teaching classes.

Yoga The Practice of Myth & Sacred Geometry
by
Rama Jyoti Vernon

, January 16, 2017
Rama's book on Yoga Asana is the most insightful book on Yoga in print in the world! Each yoga posture creates a geometrical shape, and her book describes the energy, luminance and transcendence invoked by each posture. Rama has been very modest in her life, but brought many world famous yoga teachers to this country from India in the 1960s and 1970s from B.K.S. Iyengar to Ma Yoga Sakti. Rama studied with Dr. Chaudhuri, of Sri Aurobindo Gosh, Swami Vishnudevananda, Sant Keshavadas, Swami Satchidananda, Swami Nadabrahmananda from the Sivananda ashram in Rishikes, Swami Jyotirmayananda Saraswati, a disciple of Sivananda's, Desikachar, She was told that if she didn't write a book, she would be like a "thief in the night." Those of us who have studied extensively with Rama were all so delighted to finally see her amazing work in print. Lotus Press also publishes Dr. Vasant Lad's Ayurvedic texts. "In Asana, we are breathing and becoming One with the eternal cosmic vibration," says Rama. If you are someone who dares to delve into the depths of Yoga and explore the mythology, meaning and physical alignment of each pose, this is a book you must have on your shelves. It's not only amazing the first time through, but, like the Yoga Sutras, has more and more layers unfold with each reading. It's a true reference book.

Yoga of Herbs Ayurvedic Guide 2nd Revised & Enlarged Edition
by
David Frawley
annwagoner
, August 25, 2009
This book has an excellent mini-review of Ayurveda and the concepts of guna, dosha, rasa, vipak, virya and prabhava. There is also a good explanation on how to prepare herbs. Common herbs and Indian herbs are reviewed one-by-one. A good English and Sanskrit glossary at the end help the reading of the charts. This book is essential for anyone balancing their constitution. It's a book for beginners and includes spices, but it would have been nice to get info on Ashoka, Chitraka, Guduchi, Nirgundi and Tulsi. The listings of the dosha balancing properties are excellent.
