Ancient Books On Yoga - #6456
I’ve recently developed a serious interest in yoga, but I want to go beyond the usual online stuff. I’m looking for ancient books on yoga that really go deep into the origins, philosophy, and practices. Not modern yoga manuals, but real ancient texts. I’ve heard names like the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, but I wonder if there are other ancient books on yoga that are equally important. How do you even start understanding such books if they’re written in Sanskrit? Are there good translations or guides? Another thing that worries me: I don’t want to accidentally pick up an ancient book on yoga and misunderstand the practices. For example, I’ve read that some advanced yoga techniques can be dangerous if done wrong. Do these books come with practical advice, or are they just theory? Lastly, where can I find ancient books on yoga? Are there libraries, online archives, or reliable publishers you’d recommend? I’m excited to learn, but I don’t want to get overwhelmed or pick up something fake.
