Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness
by Erich Schiffmann

In addition to a wide variety of well illustrated asanas, this book contains my favorite description of the benefit of taking time to cultivate stillness... "Imagine a spinning top. Stillness is like a perfectly centered top, spinning so fast it appears motionless. It appears this way not because it isn't moving, but because it's spinning at full speed. Stillness is not the absence of energy, life or movement... it is unconflicted movement, life in harmony with itself, skill in action."
