Written for yogis of all levels, 'The Anatomy of Yoga Coloring
Book' perfectly bridges the gap between anatomy textbook, yoga
compendium, and interactive revision tool. The human body is a
complex and fascinating machine. Author Jo Ann Staugaard-Jones
illustrates just how clever it is by first breaking it down in to
its component parts, and then putting it back together in its full
glory within the context of yoga movement. Starting with a
comprehensive examination of the nervous system, anatomical
movement, and all the body systems, the book then truly comes to
life as Staugaard-Jones presents over 50 popular asanas describing
with color and artistry which muscles are being strengthened
(contracting), which are being stretched (lengthened), and which
muscles are working as stabilizers to support the pose. Test your
knowledge as you color intricate black and white drawings of each
asana The seven categories of asanas are presented with prompts to
color relevant structures and functions, insightful technique tips,
and anatomical nuggets that will enhance your understanding of the
science behind your practice. You will learn not only the benefits
of each pose but also the contraindications, relevant terminology,
and how to vary poses where necessary. The healing heart of yoga
What sets this book apart from others is its inclusion of the
subtler realm of yoga - that which is referred to as 'energetic
anatomy'. Understanding the unseen energies of the body in terms of
fascia, bandhas, nadis, and chakras will take you beyond just
muscle and joint mechanics, alignment and technique, and connect
you more profoundly to the yogic way of life.

Very few books unite jewelry making and origami, thus Fashioning
Origami will be unique among books addressing this subject. Author
Julian Laboy-Rodriguez will introduce readers to dozens of
different origami creations and many different folds and then
demonstrate how to turn these paper motifs miniature, pairing them
with jewelry findings for fun and gift-worthy accessories. But
there is more to origami than just folding paper. It's the perfect
hobby for a stressful world. Fashioning Origami will also address
the misunderstanding that origami must be delicate because it's
paper. Julian will [also] show the reader how to create a crisp and
sturdy feeling with the right products and simple science.
From the Largest Theatre Group in the World to The Oldest Stage in
England and the Future of the Theatre Michael Wheatley-Ward has had
invaluable experience of the theatre management business as the
pages of this book will reveal. Here is a colourful entertainment
all of its own of the risks involved in production management from
the wings as well as front of house. A wealth of knowledge which
has been gained through knowing and working with some leading
actors, directors and producers in the theatre business over fifty
years. From some of London's West End play houses, cinemas and
provincial picture houses to the second oldest theatre in England,
the Theatre Royal Margate. This centre was one of local controversy
in 2007, which led to the creation of the Sarah Thorne Theatre in
Broadstairs. For the reader the second purpose of this book, will
be to gain an objective account of the events which actually took
place, through the reports of some of those involved in the
experience.
