Book: Yinsights

I ordered Yinsights by Bernie Clark after talking with someone at the March weekend workshop last week. It came in and I'm amazed at the information within. It's a book for intermediate to advanced yoga practitioners. It goes into the deeper benefits of yoga, as viewed by Eastern and Western philosophy. Two things are immediately interesting to me: 1) the concept of yin vs yang and how it applies to yoga poses and philosophy, and 2) how the book defines the koshas in depth and links to your yoga practice. The book also gives ideas for applying Yin Yoga in your asana practice.
