Yoga Anatomy (Full-Color Illustrated 2nd Edition) is not an exhaustive study of human anatomy or the vast science of yoga, nor is it a practice manual for a particular system of yoga. Rather, it is a solid foundation in the physical practice principles of all yoga systems. Full-color anatomy illustrations and in-depth information allow you to gain a deeper understanding of the structure and basic principles of each movement, as well as a deeper understanding of the yoga movement itself. From breathing to standing to inversions, see how specific muscles respond to joint movement; how a change in posture can enhance or weaken the effect; and how the spine, breathing, and posture are fundamentally connected. "Yoga Anatomy (Full Color Illustrated 2nd Edition)" allows you to understand every movement from a new perspective and is helpful to practitioners in various professional fields such as yoga training course teachers, orthopedists, chiropractors, physical therapists, fitness instructors, and Pilates and Zen yoga instructors.
