Product: The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele

Price: $11.66

If your yogi is a reader and loves to learn about yoga topics in-depth, they will definitely appreciate this book.

In yoga philosophy, there are eight limbs, or aspects, that yogis try their best to follow regularly to be the best yogi that they can be. 'Yamas’ and 'Niyamas’ are two of those limbs.

Yamas are self-restraints, or actions that you monitor for yourself to do good in the world, such as non-violence (Ahimsa) and non-stealing (Asteya).

Niyamas are internal practices that help a yogi's mind, body, and spirit, such as reaching contentment (Samtosha) or self-study (Svadhyaya).

The author does an excellent job not only defining and explaining each Yama and Niyama, but also supporting each one with an interesting story from her own life. If your yogi wants an engaging and interesting way to learn the Yamas and Niyamas, they will love this.

Product: Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic: 4th Edition by Darren Main

Price: Paperback ($14.95) Kindle ($8.99)

This book is useful for new and experienced yogis alike. If your yogi is a city-dweller, he'll especially love this book.

The author starts off talking about how practicing yoga is different nowadays as cities have become busier, people struggle to stay present, and lifestyles are often fast-paced.

He incorporates this overall message into each chapter as he discusses styles and history of yoga, yoga philosophy, and spirituality. Each chapter has sections and is beautifully organized to flow from one topic to the next.

He also chooses his wording carefully, first defining and explaining terms and concepts in detail, and then he gradually gives the reader more respect and trusts that they have learned the vocabulary from the previous chapters.

If your yogi wants a quick read with an overview of all things yoga and they live in the city, they will most likely relate to this book!
