An Introduction to Yoga

A modern-English edition of Annie Besant’s 1908 introduction to yoga, concentration, discipline, and spiritual development. Besant wrote for readers interested in inner training and the practical side of spiritual life. This edition keeps the structure and seriousness of the original while making it easier for contemporary readers to follow.

An Introduction to Yoga reflects the early twentieth-century Western encounter with Indian spiritual traditions and meditative discipline. It is useful both as a practical introduction and as a historical document of modern spiritual culture.

For readers interested in yoga, concentration, comparative religion, or the history of esoteric and spiritual movements, it is a strong entry point.
