Take a magical trip to India with Roots of Hatha Yoga, and meet some of the rishis from ancient times who are synonymous with the practice. Dr James Mallinson travelled to India for the first time at the age of 17, and received initiation into a Hindu religious order of Yogis, called Tagys, in 1992. He is also the only westerner to have received the honorary title of Mahant. His linguistic skills and deep knowledge of India make him the perfect guide to describe the world of Hindu ascetics, since they are the heirs of the first yoga practitioners. He has translated many Sanskrit texts (published by YogaVidya.com) and co-wrote Roots of Yoga with Mark Singleton (Penguin Classics 2017).
