 Over the last half millennium, one book has established itself as the classic work on Hatha Yoga. An Indian yogi named Svatmarama wrote the Hatha Yoga Pradipika in the fifteenth century C.E.

Now Brian Dana Akers has carefully edited the original Sanskrit and written a new, accessible English translation. The book also contains photographs of all the asanas. (Available September 2002, paperback, ISBN 0-9716466-1-9, $11.95)

Brian Dana Akers began practicing Hatha Yoga at age twelve, learning Sanskrit at seventeen, and working in publishing at twenty-three. You can find out more about him at BrianDanaAkers.com. He's happy to respond to your emails.
