Review: A fantastic source of knowledge for all types of yoga practitioners - I bought this book about two months after going to my first Ashtanga yoga class. At the time, despite that I enjoyed going to the classes and get a good workout I felt I didn't really know what I was doing. I remember the teacher talking about the importance of the breath and the "bandas", but I couldn't understand how those really worked and why there were so important to the practice. Yoga Anatomy provided me the answers to all those questions and even more answers that came after on body positioning, muscle groups etc. With a huge number of asanas being covered I found it the perfect tool for improving my practice and discover new asanas at my own pace (I love flicking through the book and read up about a few asanas and then try to apply what I learn in the next class or even at home). The drawings are immensely useful, and the technical contents are a mine of information that I go back to every time I want to deepen my understanding of certain asanas or learn to do a new one (like the one on the cover page!). Another great things is that the asanas covered are the same as those found in Ashtanga, vinyasa flow or other type of hot yoga so there is something for every types of practitioners :)
Review: Essential reading - If you are interested in understanding yoga then this book is essential.you can return to time and time again. I started by getting this book from the library to see what all the fuss was about but found it was so helpful to my practise I had to have it.lovely to own . Clear concise and full of interesting information that you can refer to time and time again

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would benefit from some anatomy knowledge prior to reading
*by Q***S on 10 October 2012*

This is not an introduction to anatomy. This is anatomy applied to yoga. It does cover the basic anatomical theory and terms used to describe the postures, including skeletal and muscular actions. However a prior understanding of the muscles; their names and perhaps how they are linked, would make sure you got the most out of this book book. The revised edition is clearer and better structured than the first edition. INSIDE THE BOOK The first 4 chapters cover: -Beautiful introduction discussing how intrinsic the basic yogic concepts are in the body, before we even start asana. -How breathing effects the shape of the body/spine and how this relates to yoga (why we inhale and exhale with certain movements). -The spine including it's development and range of motion. -The skeletal system including how to describe actions of the of the joints and bones. -The muscular system including how to describe muscle contractions, briefly what are agonist-antagonist pairs, and a little about how flexibility and strength relate to the muscles. The author relates everything to the basic concepts of yoga discussed at the beginning. None of this is in depth, but enough to basically understand what is happening in each posture anatomically. From chapter 5 it begins to apply this anatomy clearly and thoroughly to asana. The book does NOT cover the names of muscles but obviously, DOES use them. Previous knowledge or another book will be needed to understand the names of muscles and where the muscles are exactly. For example: (view "look inside" to get a better idea) "Concentric contraction. To stabilize and abduct shoulder joint: Rotator cuff, biceps brachii (long head), deltoid." From the book you will understand what concentric contraction is and what abduct the shoulder means, i.e. you will understand how to describe the muscular and skeletal actions. However without prior knowledge, you won't find out what or where the rotator cuff, biceps brachii (long head) or deltoid are, or get an idea of how they are linked and work together. Some of the muscles are labeled in the images, but not all muscles involved are labelled, and not in all of the postures, and there's no specific section teaching muscle names or position.
