The Concise Book of Yoga Anatomy is a user-friendly book, first presenting the framework of the skeletal-muscular system in an understandable way, with detailed information about joints, their actions, and how muscles contract to work them. The muscles are pictured with facts as they relate to location and movement, then yoga asanas are beautifully presented for that muscle or group, explaining how the posture is done and what is beneficial, with helpful cues for the practitioner and/or instructor. It is a perfect companion book for any Yoga Teacher Training program, ideally suited for the student/teacher to truly understand the mechanics, strength and stretch of most postures. Kinesthetic awareness is noted, indicating how joints are working and where the body is in space, giving substance and energy to each Asana. It is a resource for all who want to know more about the science of motion, and proves that yoga is one of the most balanced practices in mind-body awareness today.
