In "Yogabody, " author Judith Hanson Lasater writes, "You can't
fully understand the dynamic movement of asana without first
understanding the basic structure of the human body." Drawing on
almost 40 years' experience as a yoga teacher and physical
therapist, she focuses here on macroanatomy and kinesiology in
relationship to asana practice and teaching. Organized into five
parts -- the locomotor system, the vertebral column, the lower
extremity, the trunk, and the upper extremity, "Yogabody "covers
the body's bones, joints, connective tissue, nerves, and muscles.
This valuable guide builds on what yoga teachers already know and
enables them to quickly decide what might help their students move
with more enjoyment and less difficulty. It helps yoga students
understand how their own body functions. Packed with color
anatomical drawings, black-and-white diagrammatic asana
illustrations, and helpful charts, "Yogabody "is the "Gray's
Anatomy" for yoga teachers and students.
NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER "This
book will shine new light on your journey, ignite your practice
with new power, inspire new possibilities for growth, and infuse
your life with the grace and confidence you seek." -Baron Baptiste
A little over a decade ago, Baron Baptiste published his seminal
book, Journey into Power. The first of its kind, it introduced the
world to Baptiste Yoga, his signature method that marries a
lifetime of studying with some of the world's most renowned yoga
masters with his uniquely powerful approach to inner and outer
transformation. Since then, yoga has steadily moved into the
mainstream in our culture, and Baron's unique contribution has
played a key role. As millions of participants incorporate yoga
into their daily lives, Baron's teachings have evolved to bring
them even deeper into their own transformative possibilities.
Perfectly Imperfect: The Art and Soul of Yoga Practice takes
readers beyond the foundations of the practice by speaking to
everything that happens in their bodies and minds after they get
into a yoga pose. That is where the true transformation occurs, and
where much rich spiritual and emotional growth is available.
Readers will learn how to move through their lives with grace and
flow, begin again when a situation becomes difficult, "be a yes"
for their innermost desires, give up what they must, follow their
intuition, and find their truth north. With his signature blend of
boldness, insightfulness, humor, and warmth, Baron offers what is
destined to be an instant classic in the yoga and meditation world.
With Perfectly Imperfect, he proves once again to be a true yoga
master for the modern world.

Preparing for the Army Combat Fitness Test is the ideal resource to
help you assess your readiness and train for the Army Combat
Fitness Test (ACFT). Because soldiers operate on a
three-dimensional battlefield where physical demands are often
variable and unpredictable, the Army's revised physical test
provides a more diverse measurement of a soldier's physical
abilities than its predecessor. But if you are one of the 200,000
annual recruits or the 1.2 million active duty soldiers who must
pass these new protocols, this diverse test may bring anxiety and
uneasiness. That is where this essential guide can help. Backed by
the expertise of the National Strength and Conditioning Association
(NSCA), Preparing for the Army Combat Fitness Test is the first
book on the market to address the requirements of the ACFT and
provide you with the tools you need to be prepared for testing day.
Consisting of six events-the 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift,
Standing Power Throw, Hand Release Push-Up-Arm Extension,
Sprint-Drag-Carry, Leg Tuck, and Two-Mile Run-the ACFT will test
physical characteristics that you can develop and cultivate with
the training guidelines in this book. For each testing event,
you'll find a description of the test, instructions on performing
the test safely and effectively, and scoring standards so you know
the minimum performance requirements to pass and avoid being
disqualified on testing day. To begin, you will be guided through a
self-assessment that will allow you to determine your current
readiness and select a training program to maximize your
performance outcomes. A variety of sample training plans are
provided so you can select a plan based on how much time you have
to prepare for the ACFT and the amount of time you have available
to train. Choose from 24-, 12-, 8-, or 4-week plans that contain
workouts for two, three, four, or five days a week. Setup and
execution guidelines are provided for over 100 exercises, so you
can safely and effectively execute the exercises assigned within
your training program. Accompanying photos visually demonstrate how
to perform the exercises. If you don't have access to the necessary
equipment for the primary exercises, suggestions are offered for
replacement exercises that are similar in movement and training
outcome. Completing this comprehensive training resource is
valuable supplemental information about nutrition, hydration,
physical and mental recovery, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The ACFT does not have to feel overwhelming. With a good
preparation plan and commitment to training, you can show up on
test day with confidence. Preparing for the Army Combat Fitness
Test will give you the edge you need to excel and achieve your best
on the Army Combat Fitness Test. Get more help from the app!

you can use to help with your training. A special promo code and
instructions for downloading the app are included in the book.
