Product Description

Review
"Coulter's book is by far the most comprehensive and stands as a definitive statement on the relationship between yogic practice and human anatomy, as anatomy is defined in terms of Western biology and physiology."

Synopsis
The photographs, illustrations and diagrams are clear and easy to understand. Anyone who is curious or troubled about how the body responds to stretching and exercise will find in this book a cornucopia - partly new and partly old - of readable and reliable information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Demystify yoga, increase confidence, 15 Nov 2005
By M. A. Miles "markadm" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I ordered this book I had some idea that it explained yoga according to its effects on one's body. I had imagined it would be a big A4 Dorling Kindersley style hardback. Instead I was met with a squat, fat, 625-page tome, bristling with pictures.

By combining the instruction of how to perform the various yoga asanas with all the medical explanations and nomenclature that you would expect, this book is able to demystify yoga. I didn't doubt yoga before, but this book gives me extra belief that it is working.

The book is thorough in explaining variants of many positions. Almost each is illustrated. This is invariable when, either, you find a position too hard or ineffective, or you are becoming adept at a position to the point where it is too easy for you. In either case, the book is easy to use to adapt one's practice to suit.

With illustrations and instructions on the various positions and the actual physical anatomy of the body, the book begins with movement and posture, thereafter covering breathing, before moving on to abdominopelvic exercises, standing posutres, backbending postures, forward bending postures, and twisting postures. A chapter each is devoted to the headstand and shoulderstand, followed by a chapter on relaxation and meditation. The book also comes with a good glossary of anatomical terms, the book also covers the contraindications (don't dos) for various medical conditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars exellent!!!, 23 Nov 2005
By J. Barker (scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers and Practitioners (Hardcover)
I got this book when I was on the teacher training programme, at the time i didn't have the time to read it, just flicking through the pages. Now my course is over I have stuck my head into it and cannot get it back out. What a brilliant tool!! As a teacher it has helped my understanding of the asanas, breathing etc and as a yogi, it has helped my understanding of both my body in action and of the whys. if your serious about learning how you body moves and why your body restricts your practice etc then you'd better get this book...I cannot reccomend it enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars all the detail about Hatha you will ever need., 25 May 2005
By A Customer
Coming from a medical back ground I was keen to get down to the anatomical details of Hatha having practised it for two years. This book is heavy going for the beginner but a great deal of info is included for those with a curious mind keen to know the true inner workings of Yoga.

This book is thorough and very deep. I find the anatomy side of yoga quite difficult to get to grips with as yet but am persevering and am on a learning curve! Read more
