The Vital Psoas Muscle presents an in-depth look at the most
important yet abused skeletal muscle in the human body. Located
deep within the front hip joint and lower spine, the psoas is
critical for optimal postural alignment, movement, and overall well
being. Its function and importance extend beyond anatomical
mechanics to the nerve complex and energy systems. Taking a
uniquely holistic approach, this book explores how the psoas
affects the health of the body, mind, and spirit: Physically, as
the only muscle that connects the upper and lower body Emotionally,
as a messenger to and from the brain and a vessel of deeply rooted
feelings Spiritually, as an integrator within the root of the lower
chakras, subtly affecting the flow of life energy throughout the
body Understanding and working with the psoas can help: Alleviate
lower back pain Strengthen the core Correct posture Reduce trauma
Open energy channels No matter our level of fitness or flexibility,
how we use the psoas and take care of it is crucial to our life
experience. With detailed illustrations and key stretching and
strengthening exercises, including complete chapters on the role of
the psoas in Pilates and yoga, The Vital Psoas shows readers how to
release this muscle to create balance, harmony, and freedom of
movement.

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.
