Yoga Masters: The Living Wisdom Series by Mark Forstater and yoga teacher Jo Manuel is a guide to the deeper philosophical and spiritual dimensions of yoga. Rather than focusing only on physical postures, the book explains yoga as a complete system for self-awareness, inner development and well-being. It connects traditional yoga teachings with ideas that are accessible to modern practitioners.

The book introduces Patanjali’s classical Yoga system, the Ashtanga system, ethical and spiritual practices, asanas, pranayama and meditation, before presenting selections from important yoga scriptures. It includes contemporary translations of the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras, making it useful for both beginners and experienced students interested in the philosophical foundations of yoga.
