Yoga Biomechanics: Stretching Redefined provides a unique
evidence-based exploration into the complexities of human movement
and what a safe, effective yoga practice entails. The emphasis is
taken off flexibility and centered around a narrative of body
tissue adaptation. Conventional approaches to modern yoga are
examined through a biomechanist's lens, highlighting emerging
perspectives in both the rehabilitation and sport science
literature. Artfully woven throughout the book is a sub-text that
improves the reader's research literacy while making an impassioned
plea for the role of research in the evolution of how teachers
teach, and how practitioners practice. Yoga teachers and yoga
practitioners alike will discern yoga asana for its role in one's
musculoskeletal health. Yoga therapists and other allied healthcare
providers can apply principles discussed to their respective
professions. All readers will understand pose modifications in the
context of load management, reducing fears of injury and
discovering the robustness and resilience of the human body.
Coverage includes - Biomechanics Basics; Force, Applied/Modified
Loads, and Stress; Progressive Overload and Specificity;
Conventional Stretching; Stretching and Performance; Eccentrics;
Mechanical Properties of Connective Tissue; Tissue Behavior,
Structure, and Composition; Tissue Adaptation, Capacity, and
Tension; Exploration into Soft Tissue Injuries; Alignment and
Posture Features include - Highlights meaningful, evidence-based
applications and examples of yoga and/or stretching. Provides
guidelines for non-researcher's critical interpretation of
research, helping them to avoid making poor choices based in
well-worn beliefs and hackneyed assumption. Pushes teachers to a
deeper understanding of biomechanics, beyond simply memorizing
anatomy, empowering them to make smart choices for instructing a
variety of populations in both private and group class settings.
Encourages variety in popular modern-day asana, using props and a
keen eye, given our understanding of how the body's tissues adapt
to applied loads. Educates yoga teachers to think beyond the
scripted yoga education they received, stretching their minds to
further understand and redefine stretching of the human body.
