WHAT’S HOT SEPTEMBER 2025

Angela Andrea Ashwin’s Pranayama Lost in Translation is a much needed reminder of yoga’s roots. Far removed from the Western tendency to equate yoga with stretching and breathwork, this book takes us back to the sacred verses that shaped the tradition. Drawing on decades of practice and study, Ashwin explains pranayama not as a fitness add-on, but as a spiritual discipline designed to purify the nadis and awaken deeper awareness. The writing balances clarity with reverence, offering both historical context and practical guidance. Press endorsements highlight its authority, while Ashwin’s own voice brings warmth and accessibility. A rich and transformative read for any serious yogi, it challenges us to see yoga not as something we own, but something we inherit and honour.
