Yoga Books!
I love to read. In fact, I wish I had more time to read (and more time to blog)!! I always have a pile of books on my desk from the library. The only books I purchase are my yoga books because they are books I refer back to time and time again! So, some people collect designer wear scarves, others antique coins, dolls, stamps, postcards etc. Me? I collect yoga books!
Following is a list of some amazing books on YOGA or yoga related! If you go through this list and see that I have not included a yoga book that is special to you, please comment below so that my readers and I can be more complete in our reading! Here’s to 20 years of yoga reading…
