Personally recommended books available from Amazon:

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Sri Swami Satchidananda

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is the central text of Classical Yoga, a manual detailing the eight-limbed path of Raja Yoga, the path of meditation.

In his commentaries and new translation of this age-old text, Swami Satchidananda shares his own practical, down-to-earth advice on mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental, and emotional harmony in life through applying the ancient, yet eternally useful, techniques of Raja Yoga.

 

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

In simple yet profound language, Yoga Master Erich Schiffmann reveals how yoga is "a way of moving into stillness to experience the truth of who you are."

In his authentic and unique way, Erich presents asana, and indeed life, as the art of inner listening, of learning to be guided from within.

This could very well be the best yoga book out there.

 

Be Here Now by Ram Dass

Ram Dass' beautiful and captivating account of his spiritual transformation from Richard Alpert, Ph.D. into Ram Dass; from his upper-class beginnings, through his disatisfaction with academic success and then the 60's drug scene, to finally finding home at the feet of his guru, Maharaji.

Containing the great "psychedelic satsang" in the middle and the concluding "Spiritual Cookbook," it has likely turned on more people in the West to Eastern ideas and spiritual practices than any other.

 

Ramayana by William Buck

The Ramayana is one of the most loved and retold stories of India. It tells of King Rama and his attempt to rescue Sita from the demon king Ravana, and along the way recounting wonderful tales about Hanuman, Lord Shiva, Garuda, Vishnu, and a host of others. This story plays out on a lot of levels, capturing the flavor and essence of our lives - the real spiritual adventures that they are.

This version is my personal favorite. I've shared these stories in many a yoga class.

 

The Shambhala Guide to Yoga by Georg Feuerstein

Providing a compendium of the 5000-year-old history of yoga along with its many disparate and sophisticated philosophies and practices would be a daunting task for anyone. I have to say that Georg Feuerstein does a fantastic job here; and doing it all within a couple hundred pages makes it all the more remarkable. His overview includes significant discussions of meditation, mantra, Kundalini, and Tantra.

This is the book to turn to if you want to begin to understand yoga within its broader historical and philisophical conext.

 

The Living Gita by Sri Swami Satchidananda

The Bhagavad Gita was written around 500 B.C.E. and remains India's most popular scripture. Through the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna we find how to approach life through Karma Yoga, the path of service; Jnana Yoga, the path of wisdom and knowledge; and Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotion.

Swami Satchidananda's commentary is the best I've read (although I'm a little partial): extremely wise and deep, but at the same time practical and down-to-earth.
