| Yoga Philosophy Hatha Yoga Pradipika Swami Muktibodhananda and the Bihar School of Yoga The Hatha Yoga Pradipika was compiled and written after the Yoga Sutras, somewhere between 500 and 1500 CE. There are many translations and interpretations, but this one is very thorough, adding a lot of commentary to the ancient text, while also allowing you to see the original, more literal translation from Sanskrit. Light on the Yoga Sutras B.K.S. Iyengar The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Sri Swami Satchidananda The Indian sage Patanjali compiled the Yoga Sutras 2000 years ago, writing down brief phrases that provide guidance for yoga practitioners. Because they are so concise and packed with meaning, many different yogis have interpreted them over the years. These are two good versions. The Principal Upanishads Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan The Upanishads Eknath Easwaran These Vedantic texts were originally orally conveyed; most of them were written down well before the Yoga Sutras or the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The nondualistic philosophy and some of the yogic practices are already evident in the verses, stories, and metaphors of the major Upanishads.

| Nutrition and Ethical Eating Healing with Whole Foods Paul Pitchford This book is packed with information from both Western nutritional science and Eastern traditions for eating well and staying healthy. It may be a little overwhelming to read all at once, but you'll refer back to it again and again. Fast Food Nation Eric Schlosser This is an amazing investigation into the fast food industry. It covers not just how animals are treated on the factory farms, but also how workers and animals are treated in slaughterhouses, and how fast food workers are treated by the fast food companies themselves. Opens your eyes to the suffering that goes on among people and animals within this industry—and then within the people who eat the food it creates. Diet for a New America John Robbins A moving exposé of the meat, poultry, and dairy industries, especially the conditions on the factory farms where animals live their lives as units on a factory assembly line. Robbins also explores the health effects on the humans who eat this hormone- injected, antibiotic-filled, pesticide- sprayed food. This book provides numerous reasons to buy the animal products you eat from small, local farms and to work towards eliminating them from your diet entirely. articles and videos on how animals are factory farmed (available online): "Meet Your Meat" GoVeg Investigations PETA "The Meatrix" Sustainable Table podcasts on incorporating more vegetarian, vegan, and whole foods into your diet (download to listen): Compassionate Cooks Colleen Patrick-Goudreau articles (available online): "Red Meat Intake and Risk of Breast Cancer" Archives of Internal Medicine Nov. 13, 2006 recent research showing that eating meat raises your risk of hormone- related cancers "Doing Lunch" Anna Lappe The Nation an inspiring example of changing what students eat in schools |
