Book Description
See inside every yoga pose! With clear, expert instruction and full-color, detailed anatomical drawings, Yoga Anatomy depicts the most common asanas to provide a deeper understanding of the structures and principles underlying each movement and of yoga itself.
From breathing to standing poses, see how each muscle is used, how slight alterations of a pose can enhance or reduce effectiveness, and how the spine, breathing, and body position are all fundamentally linked.
Whether you are just beginning your journey or have been practicing yoga for years, Yoga Anatomy will be an invaluable resource--one that allows you to see each movement in an entirely new light.
Author Leslie Kaminoff is a recognized expert and teacher in anatomy, breathing, and bodywork. He is the founder of The Breathing Project, New York City's premiere yoga studio dedicated to the teaching of individualized, breath-centered yoga practice and therapy.

 Yoga in 3-D May 15, 2008
I own and use many anatomy books, from Gray's to the coloring book. Could another book really offer anything new and interesting? Yes!!! Yoga Anatomy brings the subject to life, making muscles relevant not just to yoga, but to every day activities, too. The illustrations are cool and make you want to get down on the mat and practice and feel.

"Yoga Anatomy" by Leslie Kaminoff is a precious gift to the postural Yoga community. Leslie's wealth of knowledge of anatomy, breathing and bodywork shines on every page.
This book is easy to understand and beautifully illustrated and comes complete with Sanskrit and English terms and a chapter on breathing. "Yoga Anatomy" is an invaluable book and one I would highly recommend for teacher training programs.

I was extremely pleased with this book. Great biological-physical explanations of what happens in your body and how it works with yoga practice.
Full of nice illustrations which really exemplify and support what you're reading, so it becomes really much easier to understand stuff.
Not complicated at all, but still very explanatory. If you're into yoga and would like to know a litle bit more of what happens to your body, which muscles you work in different asanas, and how its beneficial to you , then I really recomend you get this. You won't be dissapointed.

I first saw this book in the library and was so impressed by it that I had to buy one for my personal reference. It is greatly illustrated. They photographed a person in several yoga positions and then inserted the muscular anatomy into the pose. I found the muscle information very helpful as well as the description of the positions. If you want to know how yoga is affecting your muscles in your body then you will love this book.
