Amazing drawings of the muscular action during asanas.
I took a workshop with these guys. Ray's an ex-football player/orthopedic surgeon who studied yoga with B. K. S. Iyengar. Chris has a background in video game design and his illustration for the book are all derived from 360 degree 3D simulated projection of the human body in various asanas. In the workshop, Ray talks about what various muscles are doing in each pose while Chris revolves his animated skeletons around on the screen, making groups of muscles appear and disappear with the click of...more

We used this book for my Yoga Anatomy class years back. SO THOROUGH! I loved this book.

Deeper understanding As a deaf person, yoga classes have always been out of my reach. I needed more detailed instructions so I wouldn’t hurt myself. Now, I can truly enjoy yoga.

Excellent Illustrations best part. Explains why and what of yoga poses. Very healing art and science of body and mind. Thanks
Only useful part is the appendix
Like so many yoga books, this one will remain a constant reference text, with its companion book.

This is an excellent reference with some amazing diagrams of the human anatomy. A lot of the basic (and some not so basic) poses are covered. Each diagram also has a brief description of the major muscles that are involved in the pose. This really is a fantastic and eye-opening book, and there is only one reason that it doesn't get five stars. It is because most of descriptions contain only the names of the muscles, and the muscles in the diagrams are not labelled. The muscles do get labelled in...more

I think this is a great book in terms of what muscles are used in each asana, and it is useful both to students and teachers of yoga. In my opinion, the illustrations are too idealistic and there should be a note somewhere to say these demonstrate a perfect body and it is always good to modify where needed. Also, the book shows some very advanced asanas that I almost never teach or practice, and lacks some more common ones that I wish were in there.
thank you
useful - a lot of information in a concise manner
Great for people who are curious about what muscle groups are being are being stretched and strengthened during different exercises. The illustrations are excellent!

Great book with excellent illustrations and concise descriptions. Important tool for yoga instructors.
Really helpful yoga anatomy book (or anatomy book in general using yoga as a guide). Exceptional illustrations and very helpful cues to help feel various muscles and work on alignment.
