5 ways to be a better yogi

3. Get some good books

The physical practice of yoga, the asana, is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the practice of yoga. Grab some books and learn a little about the history and philosophy behind the poses you are practising in class. I’d recommend B.K.S Iyegars’ Light on Yoga, Donna Fahri’s Bringing Yoga To Life and Jivamukti Yoga by Shannon Gannon and David Life.
