I first read this book in 2000 as part of my 200-hour Yoga Teacher training. Then in 2004-5, I read it again as part of a distance learning course given by the author, Georg Feuerstein. I believe it is the most comprehensive book on Yoga ever published and Dr. Feuerstein to be the foremost Yoga authority in the world today.
