Book Synopsis

A practical and accessible guide to incorporating traditional yoga into a modern practice, by an Indian yoga teacher and educator.

Yoga in its traditional form is a practice focused on inclusivity, inner work and peace. But the yoga that is practised today in the West has got a little lost along the way. In this accessible beginner''s guide, Indian yoga teacher Nikita Desai brings us back to the authentic roots of this ancient practice.

In A Beginner''s Guide to the Roots of Yoga, Desai unpicks the complexities of the modern yoga space. Moving away from the focus on physical poses, expensive outfits and Instagram-perfect bodies, she delves into traditional resources to show how yoga can help your mental and spiritual wellbeing.

With a range of enlightening essays, she explores why change in the industry is vital, before centring key yogic texts, philosophy and history in a digestible manner to give us a basic understanding of the origins of yoga. D
