Forest! This stunning coloring book by Johanna Basford takes

In Walking, Henry David Thoreau talks about the importance of
nature to mankind, and how people cannot survive without nature,
physically, mentally, and spiritually, yet we seem to be spending
more and more time entrenched by society. For Thoreau walking is a
self-reflective spiritual act that occurs only when you are away
from society, that allows you to learn about who you are, and find
other aspects of yourself that have been chipped away by society.
This new edition of Thoreau's classic work includes annotations and
a biographical essay.
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.
