Product Description
Product Description
Orthopedic surgeon Ray Long blends modern science and the ancient art of hatha yoga to create an indispensable resource for every yoga practitioner - from beginners to experts. A scientific approach to understanding the practice of hatha yoga: through full-color, three-dimensional illustrations of major muscles, tendons, and ligaments, Ray Long describes the correct positioning of hatha yoga poses (asanas) and their benefits. Specific anatomical descriptions highlight which muscles to activate in each pose, bringing the experience of the pose to new sensory heights. A novel approach to learning yoga poses: each of the four mat companions focuses on one type of yoga pose: standing poses, forward bends and hip openers, back bends and twists, and arm balances and inversions. The illustrations and descriptions describe the major movements that enable the poses, how to deepen the posture, and sequences of muscle activation. The concealed wire-bound pages make the books perfect mat resources during practice.

for those of us without much medical education, this is a really excellent book that helps and guides the yogi into the asanas. it really helps one start to picture what is happening under the skin shield.

took quite a while to arrive, but worth the wait, really informative if you want to have a better understanding of yoga postures and how the muscles work, excellent progression tips.

i havent actually bought this book but notice that the cover shown and the title of the book do not match! - both exist (see amazon.com for the whole series) but which one you receive through co.uk could be a lottery! I have the original poses and key muscles books which are excellent, & have paged through "hip openers and forward bends" on amazon.com and it seems fabulous - I practice little yoga but the information is invaluable simply for stretching or for pilates.
