Reddit reviews Meditations from the Mat: Daily Reflections on the Path of Yoga

This book is pretty great: Meditations from the Mat. Author is a recovered addict and yogi.

I would suggest Meditations from the Mat (Amazon Link). It breaks down the 8 Limbed Yogic path and then goes through a daily examination of the lessons. IT was easy to digest and really hits home.

I really like Rodney Yee's yoga DVDs :) I've tried a lot of them, and I find that his style just works best for me.

I also enjoyed Meditations from the Mat when I was first getting into yoga - I liked the daily essays, and it helped me stay kind of focused on my goal.

And I've been debating off and on whether I want to pick up Moving Toward Balance (Rodney Yee again, what can I say?).

Mediation from the mat - it keeps me going and sets my mind on practice.

For everyday little thoughts or things that my yoga teachers say around savasana I like

• Meditations from the Mat
  
  
• 365 Prescriptions for the Soul
  
  
• The Essential Rumi or The Gift - Hafiz
  
  
  Or some "stylish" books like ...
  
  
• Eat Pray Love - meh
  
  
• Yoga Bitch and if that one doesnt strike your fancy, you could go look under the similar products.
  
  
  There's also some documentaries like Enlighten Up which used to be streaming on Netflix for free. Not a GREAT documentary but good if you want to focus on the culture of yoga!
  
  

If you enjoy yoga (even if you don't practice yoga), you may like Meditations from the Mat

Meditations from The Mat is a great book too!

I literally JUST received Meditations from the Mat in the mail! I suppose I shouldn't offer it as a suggestion just yet since I haven't read it, but a teacher I very much admire and enjoy taking classes with suggested it, because it offers daily reflections, so you can read a little and get "little tastes" of the spiritual side of yoga.

I tried to read the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga but had a really difficult time getting into it. :/ I'm excited to hear others' suggestions!
