Question by : Beginner Books for people Interested in Yoga?
Not just the western physical yoga but the eastern Physical and Spiritual Yoga?

Best answer:

Answer by Dances with Buddha
You might consider George Feuerstein’s “The Yoga Tradition: Its History, Literature, Philosophy and Practice.”

http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Tradition-Literature-Philosophy-Practice/dp/1890772186

As you qualified, it is by no means only about the practice of postures (asana).
The only reason it may not be for beginners is because it does go into (what seemed like to me) a lot of detail, and into various paths of yoga, that I wasn’t too interested in. Thus, a certain amount of it felt like very dry reading.

Of course, your level of interest may give you a different experience.
The reviews of the book posted by others at Amazon may be useful to you.
