Known for his photographs of the famous, Michael O’Neill first set out to create portraits of influential yogis. As his practice deepened, so did his drive to look past personalities and poses to document the roots of yoga. For the next 10 years O’Neill trekked beyond the traditional epicenters to meditate with monks, live with sadhus, and marvel at the boys who practice mallakhamba. Brought together for the first time, this extraordinary body of work published by TASCHEN tells the story of yoga as it’s never been told before. www.taschen.com
