Journey into Power: How to Sculpt Your Ideal Body, Free Your True Self, and Transform Your Life with Yoga Book

Wonderful! I have been a fan of Baron's teaching for a while (and I'm training with him in a couple of months! Yippee!), mostly because I completely agree with his approach to and philosophy towards yoga. Trust your intuition - it is ALWAYS right.

Having practiced for so long (13+ years), I've found it hard to drag myself to read more yoga books in the last few years since I've been teaching, because a lot of them seem redundant and not especially eye-opening. I have read just about all I care to on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and have been searching for a teacher who can put the ancient teachings into an approach that is really, truly, honestly "everyday." Baron's take on yoga and integrating the ideals of yoga into your everyday life are not preachy and high-ended like some, but very approachable and DO-able. The principles he lays out are very simple and yet can profoundly change your perspective toward life and your yoga practice.

He also includes information on diet (eat water-based whole foods filled with life) and meditation. The descriptions of the asanas are clear, although maybe not so for a total beginner - the best way to experience a Power Yoga class is to take one. But still, it's a great book and one that I will recommend to students looking to deepen their practice and/or take it off the mat.
