It was interesting to read the origins of yoga and how it has evolved over time. I did feel like I was reading a research paper or dissertation, but given the topic, that was fine. I liked that the author recommended books for further reading in the conclusion. If you want a relatively quick read on the history of yoga, this book is a good choice.

Good to understand the basics and a more simple overview of an extremely complicated history and subject.

This seems like the author’s degree dissertation or similar and then self published. Definitely not a First more a poor 2:2. A Very simple, brief and limited overview of yoga and it’s history with some very poor spelling. Also a very poor quality binding with pages falling out.
