Yoga Anatomy, 2nd Edition (2011) (PDF) by Leslie Kaminoff

Description

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.

User’s Reviews

The book is fantastic – I am learning so much about the physiology behind yoga. The book has great illustrations, diagrams, and tables, and it just doesn’t come through on Kindle. I ended up buying the hard copy too. Highly recommended, but buy the actual book.

This book is a godsend for anyone who studies or teaches yoga. It reflects so much care and work and attentiveness to detail. It really is anatomy for yogis. I’ve been studying yoga for close to 40 years and have been exposed to a variety of corrective allignment forms of body work. So when I’m having trouble in a posture I often refer to standard anatomy books but they can be overwhelming and aren’t geared towards helping me understand what is going on in a given posture. Despite taking several anatomy classes including a wondrous anatomy dissection class, I still don’t have enough knowledge to translate what I read or see in an antomy text into what I’m doing and not doing in a given yoga posture. There are books that aim to be more inclusive, like Mel Robin’s book on the physiology of yoga–but I just get overwhelmed by that much information. This book helps me see the main muscles working in a given posture and the main reasons I might be having difficulty with that posture. Of course I would like even more–how can I strengthen or lengthen the muscles that I’m needing to employ in a given posture. But that is asking for too much and I think really requires work with a well trained teacher. This book is just the right size, user friendly and chocked full of information. The illustrations are remarkable, showing postures from different angles and reflecting the author’s extensive study of both anatomy and yoga. I highly recommend it.
