Yoga Philosophy and Meditation:
Tantra Illuminated by Christopher Hareesh Wallis. He has been my teacher. It’s user-friendly and applied to daily life. This is a fabulous guide to the Yoga philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism, (north Indian Tantra) as well as an overall explanation of the tantric schools of yoga. Parts are a bit heady and more historical so just skip them. We used it in our Teacher Training. Highly recommended!
Meditation for the Love of it by Sally Kempton, who writes for Yoga Journal, is a heart-felt, experienced and compassionate guide on the journey of meditation. This is rich with practices and wonderful teachings based in Tantra yoga. Another fabulous read for the beginner and anyone wanting to understand Tantra and meditation.
When Things Fall Apart, by Pema Chodron. This is one of Pema Chodron’s best and most popular. An indispensable guide to living from the heart.
HATHA YOGA:
Hatha Yoga Illustrated: A simple book full of great Anusara based descriptions and pictures about an array of Hatha Yoga poses, written by a certified Anusara yoga instructor.
Light on Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar. This is a must-have classic by physical yoga’s leading master. It’s like the bible and essential for all students of yoga.
Yoga: The Iyengar Way. This is a classic, simple instruction book for people who like descriptions and great pictures. Sequences in the back as well.

The Energy of Money: A very useful workbook to help you unblock obstacles on your path to achieving your goals around money and success.
