Over the last half millennium, one book has established itself as the classic work on Hatha Yoga the book you are holding in your hands. An Indian yogi named Svatmarama wrote the Hatha Yoga Pradipika in the fifteenth century C.E. Drawing on his own experience and older works now lost, he wrote this book for the student of Yoga. He wrote this book for you.
Contains the original Sanskrit, a new English translation, and photographs of all the asanas.
Woodstock Times
There is a certain magic at work here as if Svatmarama has projected himself through time, expressing himself through Akers.

Christophe Mouze
"A new, crisp, no-nonsense translation of this great classic on the practice of Hatha Yoga. . . . If one, like me, holds that the work of the translator is to be as discreet as possible, then this very faithful translation is probably the best available. . . . The publisher, YogaVidya.com, also produces a version of the Gheranda Samhita, and, I am told, is working on the Shiva Samhita. Serious Yoga students watch out-these are serious translations of serious classics."—Online Yoga Magazine
