Format:Paperback
If you want to know more about the science behind what yoga does and which muscles are engaged and how then this book is fantastic. It's a standard text for yoga instructors and the combination of illustrations and insightful text are very well done and most informative.

Format:Paperback
As a Yoga teacher this, and it's companion book on the muscle usage in asanas, is probably the best and most useful yoga anatomy book I have seen. It offers very clear and precise details of the muscle engagement in each asana without being overly technical. It also offers very clear explanations which can be utilised in explaining postures to beginners.

Format:Paperback
As a yoga teacher I'm always on the lookout for resources that will help make my classes more interesting. I've got 2 or 3 other yoga anatomy books, but this is my favourite. Other great resources for yoga teachers include: Yoga Teacher Business Kit [CD] [DVD], Yoga Teacher Lesson Plan Kit [CD] [DVD], Quick Yoga Sites [DVD] and Yoga Studio Business Plan Kit on CD [DVD].
