This companion guide to the bestselling Yoga Anatomy Coloring Book
helps experienced and aspiring yogis deepen their practice through
coloring the essential anatomy engaged in 50 poses. Color your way
to yoga knowledge! By understanding your body and its anatomical
structure, you can improve your practice, no matter your level.
This follow-up to the bestselling Yoga Anatomy Coloring
Book--written by yoga instructor, licensed massage therapist, and
anatomy teacher Kelly Solloway--shows the proper engagement of
muscles in dozens of fundamental and more advanced poses, or
asanas. As practitioners color in the beautiful and detailed
black-and-white drawings, they can clearly see the asana and
relevant anatomy; each illustration includes a label to color and
reinforce learning. Solloway explains how the muscles, bones,
tendons, and ligaments function together in each pose, and provides
advice on working safely and effectively. Additional tips are
sprinkled throughout, and 48 perforated flash cards enable readers
to quiz themselves, study yoga anatomy on the go, and design custom
sequences.

This excellent book represents one of the first and best
presentations of Eastern wisdom in the English language. It
concerns ancient Hindu traditions and the Yogic practice of
observing and regulating the breath. We begin with an admission
that Western students are often confused by what exactly Yoga is,
and what it is meant to accomplish. Stereotypes of the yogi as
spindly, dirty and disheveled men commonly seen sitting in fixed
posture at a roadside or marketplace abound. Yet these dismissive
images serve only to neglect the spiritual substance and ancient
wisdom of yogi science. Seeking to dispel the negative stereotypes
and present the vivid truth, Atkinson discusses the multiple
schools of yoga and their general purpose. Some emphasize control
over the body's motions, while others favor inner development of
the spirit. Several however emphasize the control of the breath;
and it a practical explanation of this that Atkinson relays in the
remaining fifteen chapters of this book.

overall quality of life.
