Recommended readings to deepen your study of yoga and wellbeing
The following readings have helped us at PALM + PINE deepen our practice through greater understanding of yoga concepts. As you look for reading ideas to take with you on vacation or spend an evening with, consider these to extend your yoga practice beyond the asanas (physical postures).
If you choose to purchase a book, we recommend shopping locally (at one of our studio!) or buying used books. When you’re done reading it, pass it along to a friend!
