Click on thumbnails to see larger images
Big Yoga Read: #1
This book offers a scientific approach to understanding the practice of
hatha
yoga. Through four-color, three-dimensional illustrations of major muscles, tendons, and ligaments, Ray Long describes the practice and benefits of hatha yoga. Specific anatomical and physiological descriptions highlight the agonist, antagonist, and synergist muscles that come into play with each pose. Volume I of the series describes the key muscles of hatha yoga and how they are utilized. From beginners to experts, this book will become a constant companion.

A decent yoga instructor must have a good knowledge of the human anatomy in order to be effective. Knowing how the body moves is essential to understanding how to work with different bodies/issues. It can be a mindboggling and overwhelming topic for anyone - and although there are some good anatomy books on the market for yoga instructors (Anatomy of Yoga by H. David Coulter in particular), these books can be rather dry. As a visual learner, I found it dreadful to try and understand the body, in specific to hatha yoga, through the small number of attainable books - which is not a critique on the books, mind you - I simply need to "see" what I am being told. Thankfully, this book is now available for those of us who need more than words to learn. "The Key Muscles of Hatha Yoga" is a colorfully illustrated book - detailing important muscles and how they relate to hatha yoga. The pictures dramatically represent a human skeleton with specific muscles in different yoga poses - giving
