A.G. Mohan
This clear overview of yoga is especially notable for its revolutionary perspective on asana practice. Rather than stressing the perfect execution of mind-boggling postures, Mohan, a student of Shri Krishnamacharya for 18 years, emphasizes function over form, presenting 21 core postures with adaptations that will give every student the full benefit of yoga practice. His approach is breath-oriented, focusing on relaxing the body into postures through breath, mental attitude and fluid movement.

Srivatsa Ramaswami
For 33 years Ramaswami studied with the legendary T. Krishnamacharya, teacher of B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and T.K.V. Desikachar and perhaps the most influential figure in the field of yoga in the last 100 years. Since that time he has developed Krishnamacharya's teaching into what may be the most highly evolved program available for making yoga a way of life, rather than simply a routine. In seventeen chapters Ramaswami lays out the whole philosophy of yoga, including principles for right living, postures, breathing practices, meditation practices, and mental disciplines. Key to Ramaswami's teaching is the focus on adapting yoga to individual needs and to different stages of life. During the early part of life, learning yoga as a physical art form is most beneficial for the self-confidence and discipline it instills. In middle age, yoga should focus on physical therapy and maintaining optimum health as far into life as possible. In the last stages of life, the practitioner will be ready to focus on the ultimate goal of yoga - true understanding of the philosophy behind it and the realization of truth.
