The best-selling anatomy guide for yoga is now updated,
expanded, and better than ever!
With more asanas, vinyasas, full-color anatomical
illustrations, and in-depth information, the second edition of
Yoga Anatomy provides you with a deeper understanding of the
structures and principles underlying each movement and of yoga
itself.
From breathing to inversions to standing poses, see how
specific muscles respond to the movements of the joints; how
alterations of a pose can enhance or reduce effectiveness; and
how the spine, breathing, and body position are all fundamentally
linked.
Whether you are just beginning your journey or have been
practicing yoga for years, Yoga Anatomy will be an invaluable
resource—one that allows you to see each movement in an entirely
new light.
With Yoga Anatomy, Second Edition, authors Leslie Kaminoff and
Amy Matthews, both internationally recognized experts and
teachers in anatomy, breathing, and bodywork, have created the
ultimate reference for yoga practitioners, instructors, and
enthusiasts alike.
