Excellent graphs and explanations!August 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a book I've been looking for to understand how muscles work on a yoga session. A must for all yoga practitioners who want to know how the asanas work.
Excellent learning tool!August 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is an excellent learning/reference tool...the illustrations are clear, the wording is concise (not too scientific) and each pose is listed in English and Sanskrit (including the phonetic spelling) - it's a must have!
It helps to be familiar with anatomical terminologyAugust 14, 2008 I just started studying yoga to better round out my workout routine. I picked up this book as something to help me better understand how to perform the asanas.
Pros: Well drawn anatomical drawings, clear descriptions of how the muscles work to enable you to perform the asanas
Cons: Requires some knowledge of anatomy (I have had anatomy classes so this was not a problem for me), descriptions don't tell you how to get INTO the poses, just how they work
I would not get this book to learn yoga. You would be more frustrated than helped (see the low rated comments). But if you are studying with a yogi then I think this book will help you better understand the processes that are happening when you do your poses.
