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.
The field of myofascial science is changing rapidly. In The
Myofascial System in Form and Movement, Lauri Nemetz invites
readers into the rich dialogue around movement, delving into
anatomy, concepts of space, and the many other disciplines that are
taking interest in the myofascial universe. Nemetz uses insights
from our spatial relationship with the world to examine the human
body, giving voice to the ideas and work of leaders in this area
and prompting readers to develop their own ideas, as well as
offering application suggestions to discover in your own body or
with others. With an extensive background in art history,
myofascial movement, anatomical dissection and more, Nemetz uses
her wealth of experience to weave together the many facets of this
evolving area in a visually rich and thought-provoking book.
