Following on from the worldwide success of "Strength Training Anatomy", with over half a million copies sold worldwide, this series has been expanded to include bodybuilding, stretching and now yoga. It is aimed at yoga enthusiasts and instructors, as well as a reference for fitness professionals and personal trainers. It provides detailed anatomical illustrations of all standard yoga poses used by the majority of yoga practices. It includes sections on breathing anatomy and describes the anatomical changes that occur in variations of standard poses.

It features training sequences to boost energy, reduce stress, improve mental focus and body balance. |

good reference! |
i refer to this book whenever i feel stuck in my advancement on a pose; sometimes, it helps to see and understand what my muscles and joints should be ideally doing.
the chapter on breathing turned on a huge lamp-light for me, and my practice has enhanced greatly as a result. |

Anatomy Must Have |
Namaste,
This book is an excellent resource for basic anatomy. It conveys a general understanding of properly approaching foundational asanas. The layout is easy to use and reference. It has a glossary of asanas in English and Sanskrit.The drawings are superb; they were done by an artist with a medical background.
Valuable tidbits that aid in the precision of asanas are provided. If you are not already practicing theses, they make a difference maximizing the benefits of your practice. (ie. adjustments to breath, shifts to weight)
Also, when considering an injury, the illustrations are a great aid to quickly understanding how to make adjustments in asanas and practice, which poses to emphasize, avoid or modify. Om. |

As a physical therapist and a yoga practicioner it was great to have all the asanas explained really well by very good drawings and muscle actions. EXCELENT book for ALL yoga practicioners and medical professionals alike to understand exactly what is involved with each and every asana.
