Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries
The word alone may conjure up musty textbooks and clinical illustrations, but anatomy can be really useful when you’re trying to deepen your understanding of yoga poses. Thankfully, Susi Hately Aldous makes anatomy accessible with clear drawings of muscles, compelling graphic design, and a sprinkling of inspirational quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh and others.
If you are new to anatomy, you’ll learn the most from the first three chapters, which give clear descriptions of the various systems in the body and the terminology and principles of human movement. The subsequent chapters focus on different categories of poses – standing, inversions, twists, back bends and forward bends – and offer basic muscle actions, alignment principles, and safety tips for each.
