Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda is one of the most widely read books on the subject of yoga.

Bhagavad Gita several translations of this important book are suggested.  The Bhagavad Gita is the fundamental book describing both Buddhist and Hindu yoga practices

Dhammapada translated by Max Muller with annotations by Jack Maguire is by far the best rendering of this most beloved of all Buddhist scriptures.  It is to Buddhism what the Bhagavad Gita is to Hinduism.
