The Spirit of Yoga by Kathy Phillips

Yoga has become hugely popular and gyms, health centres and spas have cooled down on aerobics and are catering to the new demand. The Spirit of Yoga is a beautiful and unique introduction to yoga for those becoming interested in the discipline for the first time and a source of inspiration for those who have already made it a part of their lives. The book takes yoga back to its historical, philosophical and cultural roots and shows how it can be applied appropriately to life in the West. Stylish and beautiful Vogue-style photography illustrates key exercises for regular practice and the author uses her experience as a trained yoga teacher and Health and Beauty Editor of British Vogue to guide us through yoga as the contemporary discipline - and industry - it has become.
