Customer rating is 3 of 5  Excellent pictures but needs more details   2010-03-15
By LB (Houston, TX)
This book is worth its money simply because you will get to see the different muscles that are being used/worked in each pose. Additionally, for each pose the author makes very useful comments like the most common errors in the pose, or tips for how to get the most out of the pose. The anatomical vocabulary level is very high--someone with no background in anatomy would have a very hard time understanding the terminology. And not all the muscles that are discussed are labeled in the picture. Overall, I would have liked more poses featured, and more of a layman's description of what is happening.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Fantastic information!   2010-02-21
By Barbara A. Martin (Troy, OH, USA)
I have always wanted to learn more about the human body as it pertains to teaching yoga, but haven't made time to take an anatomy class (this can be challenging to fit into our busy lives!), so when I saw this book I took a chance in the hopes that it would be what I needed. Turns out it was that and more! This book is great at explaining in detail things I'd not considered before with regard to how our bodies function. The information is easy to understand, yet not overly simplified, and the illustrations are incredible. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the human body and who practices or teaches yoga. A must have for your library!

By Barbara Fotherby (Ontario)
I was looking for an anatomy book that would help me solidify the information I needed in understanding what the body does in a particular asana. This book tells you just what you need to know to understand the mechanics of asana. The illustrations are the best I have seen in an anatomy book, and the explanations are well written. This is a great book for teachers.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Excellent Reference Book   2010-02-03
By Katy Daniels
As a yoga instructor I find this book extremely helpful to show students which muscles to activate and release for complicated poses. The visuals along with text and explanation assist in understand injuries and possible recommending poses for rehab. Addition, the insight on the human breath and the transition from embryo to human life is amazing. In all the anatomy classes over the years no one has covered how some smaller blood vessels of the baby while in the womb transition to ligaments in the last tri-mester. I guess that is similar to how baby knee caps are developed when they start to crawl. Highly recommended book.
