Lotus Publishing Functional Anatomy of Yoga: A Guide for Practitioners and Teachers

The book deserves 5 stars plus.I am no instructor of Yoga. I do practice yoga but what called my attention to the book is the fact that the author is a professor of kinesiology so I thought, he knew how to explain movement and relate it to the yoga poses.I was wowed by the way he makes things so clear. My knowledge of anatomy is pretty advanced, but David nails it! The language is adequate to the professional and the laymen.If you want to understand movement, I urge you to buy this book.Shame that there are not more books around written by Mr. Keil. We would all benefit in learning from him.

Currently doing a yoga teacher training programme. I’ve read some articles by this author and liked the way anatomy was explained.This book did not disappoint. It covers the body starting at foot working up through each section of the human body and all areas are covered comprehensively.Excellent book for those with some knowledge of anatomy and yoga.

I bought this book not just because I'm hoping to train as a yoga teacher soon, but also because I suffer with lower back problems and I wanted to understand how I can use yoga to overcome it without putting unnecessary strain on my back. Although it is a fabulous book, it is very in-depth and I find myself zoning out trying to understand it! Maybe I need the video series to fully understand everything!

Explains anatomy in a straight forward way, giving more detail than my hatha yoga instructor course. I know It's logical to read from the beginning but finding myself bouncing around specific chapters based on where I'm most keen to understand more, chapter on hips and lotus pose particularly useful. Very pleased.

Great book to learn about the body and what happens whilst doing yoga postures. I'm training to be a yoga teacher and found this book to be very helpful. Would recommend it.
