want? To find the answer, she'll have to unlock the greatest mystery of
all - her own heart.

A fun introductory guide to yoga anatomy for new and experienced
yoga teachers, practitioners, and enthusiasts Knowledge of anatomy
is a crucial part of every effective yoga practice, but the subject
can be dry and difficult. Yoga Anatomy Made Simple provides a fun
solution-it's a go-to guide to functional yoga anatomy, written for
yoga practitioners looking to jump in and start applying key
concepts to their work. Here, longtime yoga teacher Stuart Girling
pairs his expertise with real-life examples and colorful, jaunty
illustrations to create a book that serves as an easy-to-understand
introduction and refresher course for yogis, teachers, and
trainers. Yoga Anatomy Made Simple provides simple explanations of
key yoga-anatomy concepts, like patterns, variety, breath, and
strength. The illustrations are diverse, inclusive, joyful, and
fun-and mirror the author's own accessible, unpretentious approach
to practical yoga anatomy. Concepts are demonstrated on different
body parts, as well as the following posture groups: * Forward
bends * Hip rotations * Backbends * Twists * Postures involving the
shoulders * Inversions * Arm balances Girling ties everything
together in a holistic framework with a playful touch on every
page-one that embraces each student's lifestyle, environment, and
life history. Yoga teachers will learn to elevate their ability to
analyze yoga postures from a physical perspective, sequence more
effectively, avoid unnecessary injury, and appreciate the
importance of individuality within postural yoga.
