Book by Michael O'Neill. On Yoga: The Architecture of Peace - Taschen

This extraordinary work explores yoga like never before. With nearly 200 photographs, it follows the photographic journey of Michael O'Neill, a photographer and yogi who spent a decade traveling across America and India to capture the essence of yoga and the most influential yogis of our time as a physical, spiritual, and mindful practice. The images are illuminated by stories from his travels and essays by meditation master H. H. Swami Chidananda Saraswatiji and Ashtanga guru Eddie Stern.
