Roots of Yoga

James Mallinson and Mark Singleton are teaming up to co-author a new book, The Roots of Yoga.

“for the first time in a single volume many of the most important primary texts of yoga through the ages. All the translations will be our own and many will be from texts not previously translated. Roots of Yoga will be arranged thematically and highlight the major historical moments of yoga’s evolution within the Indian subcontinent (from about 500BCE to 1750CE), showing the continuities, disjunctions and developments that have characterized its theory and practice across the centuries.”

They’re doing it on their own without the big publishing houses to back them. Instead, they request our support. I fully endorse this project. They are both remarkable yogis! Please watch the trailer and then go to Kickstart to buy your copy in advance – or donate however much you can!

      Both Mark and Jim are doing such a great and important work . I will buy the book in advance and try to offer that option to friends here.
