A full-color illustrated exploration of the body in motion during
yoga practice * Examines anatomical patterns and body mechanics in
specific asanas, such as forward bends, twists, external hip
rotations, arm balances, and back bends, to inspire confidence in
students, deepen practice, and prevent injury * Provides detailed
images and photos overlaid with anatomical diagrams, allowing you
to see clearly what is happening within each asana discussed *
Explores how various yoga postures interrelate from the perspective
of functional anatomy In this full-color illustrated guide, David
Keil brings the anatomy of the body in yoga asanas to life. Writing
in an accessible, conversational tone, he outlines how
practitioners and yoga teachers alike can utilize a deeper
understanding of their anatomy and its movement and function to
deepen their yoga practice, increase confidence, prevent injury,
and better understand their students and their challenges.
Providing detailed images and photos overlaid with anatomical
diagrams, allowing you to see clearly what is happening within each
asana discussed, Keil shows how the muscles, joints, tendons, and
structure of the body work together to support integrated movement.
He discusses the basics of functional anatomy, exploring the
workings of the foot and ankle, the knee, the hip joint, the pelvis
and SI joint, the spine, the shoulder, and the hand, wrist, and
elbow. He examines anatomical patterns and body mechanics in
specific asanas, such as forward bends, twists, external hip
rotations, arm balances, and back bends, such as, for example, how
a wide-legged forward bend shifts the position of the femur and the
pelvis, allowing students with tight hamstrings to accomplish a
deep forward bend--something they struggle with when the legs are
together. Keil also shows how various yoga postures interrelate
from the perspective of functional anatomy. Revealing in detail how
everything in the body is connected and how your anatomy functions
holistically during yoga practice, this book helps you to
understand the body better and connect and integrate yoga postures
in a completely new way.
