Title: A welcome translation
Review: For anyone starting or keeping a yoga practice, this book is a clear and sincere reference to some age-old wisdom. Akers' translation of the Pradipika appears free of any interpretation or indoctrination sometimes found in mass-market translations. Anything worth doing, like yoga itself, requires effort. This book requires effort. You will do the work of understanding its metaphors through your own experiences and developments. You'll want to look up the occasional yoga-jargon, left to preserve Svatmarama's original intentions in writing the Pradipika. We're lucky to have translations like this available today to help complete a practice, study, or library of yoga. Recommended without hesitation.
