Autobiography of a Yogi — Paramhansa Yogananda
One of the most influential spiritual autobiographies ever written — Yogananda's account of his life and the masters of India, the transmission of Kriya Yoga, and a master who lived in continuous communion with the Source. Steve Jobs requested it be distributed at his memorial. Required reading.

The definitive guide to yoga asana. Every posture, described and photographed by the master.
Richard Hittleman's Yoga: 28 Day Exercise Plan — Richard Hittleman
The bestselling yoga book that brought hatha yoga into Western living rooms — gentle, progressive, and beautifully illustrated.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Studied with T. Krishnamacharya in Mysore in the 1930s, then built the precision-alignment school of yoga that bears his name. Light on Yoga (1966) catalogued 200 asanas with the photographic rigour that made him the West's most-translated yoga teacher of the twentieth century.
Paramhansa Yogananda
The master who brought Kriya Yoga to the West, and whose Autobiography of a Yogi remains one of the most influential spiritual autobiographies ever written. Steve Jobs requested it be distributed at his memorial. A living transmission of communion with the Source.
Richard Hittleman
Brought hatha yoga to American television in 1961 with Yoga for Health, the first nationally syndicated yoga show in the US. His 28 Day Exercise Plan introduced millions of Americans to yoga before the studio era began.

Esalen Institute
Founded 1962 on the cliffs of Big Sur. The hub of the human potential movement — where Gestalt, somatics, encounter groups, and east-meets-west consciousness work were forged. Hot springs, workshops, retreats. Much of the modern body-and-mind vocabulary was first written down here.

The clearest American expression of integral, all-paths spirituality as a lived practice.
