'Crucial and timely' - VEX KING

SHORTLISTED FOR THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING AWARDS 2025 - BEST WELLBEING BOOK
GOLD AWARD WINNER AT THE LIVING NOW AWARDS 2025 - EXERCISE, FITNESS AND YOGA BOOK

Learn how to incorporate traditional yoga into your modern practice - and feel the benefits.

Yoga in its authentic form is focused on inclusivity, inner work and peace. But the yoga that is practised in the Western world has got a little lost along the way...

Join Nikita Desai on her mission to help us understand yoga beyond the physical poses and pricey outfits that we're so familiar with today. Drawing on research and teachings from ancient sources, Desai helps us navigate this complex practice as we learn how to:

- Unpick the problems in modern yoga
- Understand the fundamentals of what yoga is in its truest form
- Explore key yogic texts and gurus to support our learning
- Add in practical elements of traditional yoga to our current practice, both on and off the mat.

A Beginner's Guide to the Roots of Yoga is the essential companion for anyone who wants to practise yoga respectfully and fully.
