Yoga Anatomy Paperback – October 19, 2021

This book is absolutely great. It really goes into yoga from a biological point of view describing how our body moves through the motions and positions. It also does a great introduction into the spiritual parts of yoga that can be intimidating to those wanting to begin practicing without any spiritual leanings or foundations. It's a yoga book without a lot of "the woo" as some might put it and because of that I've read it cover to cover. It does of course touch on the spiritual aspects of yoga, because these things are connected but the way it's introduced is palatable for those of us who usually get turned off by such things. It's like your gateway into yoga, trust. Also very helpful if you're wanting to target any specific muscle group or area of the body. Very useful book!!

So far seems like it’s going to be a great, intelligent, well written & useful book

The book is very detailed and colorful. Good bang for your buck

The highlights are-Anatomy-Original title of each posture-English title-How to pronounce the original titles-Additional tables of joint/muscular actions

THis book is written from the most heart-centered place. It is filled with wisdom and dismantles the simple mechanistic model of the body in favor of a more contextual approach. Rich and wise. I've used is as a text book in all of the yoga teacher trainings I've lead.

Serves it's purpose

It’s good and also wishing there was more to it

Whether you are a student or a teacher, you need this book. Knowing the anatomy behind yoga is something that can benefit everyone who practices. It’s very informative and very useful if you are in a yoga teacher training program.
