Yoga and Meditation are journeys that you choose to embark on, and subsequently, it is up to you to then select the speed at which you journey on the path. Self-study is highly encouraged and is in fact, imperative, to advancing your practice. Any and all of these books can shed insight on yoga's Eight Fold Path, as well as other yoga-related topics.
