Anatomy for Yoga with Paul Grilley

Anatomy for Yoga with Paul Grilley
Pranamaya
An invaluable resource for both yoga students and teachers, this comprehensive DVD includes nearly 4 hours of in-depth lectures, demonstrations and special features on human anatomy as it relates to yoga practice. The focus of the DVD is comparative skeletal anatomy: understanding the underlying skeletal structure of the body, how the shapes and sizes of the bones differ from person to person, and how to use that knowledge in gaining a much deeper understanding of our individual yoga practices.
Paul Grilley explains the key concepts of compression, tension, proportion and orientation with the help of a wide range of yoga students. These concepts help us to understand why no two people will ever experience the same yoga posture in exactly the same way. Paul's light-hearted yet provocative approach will challenge many misconceptions about yoga while providing the foundation for the development of a truly personal yoga practice grounded in safety and respect.

That's why this new DVD from Paul Grilley is such a welcome arrival. Grilley is best known as one of the foremost proponents of Taoist or Yin Yoga, which combines the meridian modalities of China (for example, acupuncture) with the yogic and Tantric methods of India. But judging from this DVD, he also knows a thing or two about the Western understanding of human anatomy. “...The great thing about the DVD is that the presentation, unlike the usual two-dimensional anatomy book, is visually striking and experiential. Grilley illustrates his points not only on a skeleton but on living bodies, with helpful graphic overlays to emphasize certain points... Teachers, serious students, and anyone running a teacher training program worth it's salt will want a copy of this DVD

Paul Grilley's message is very simple yet very profound. Teachers and students alike need to understand that people's anatomical structures are very different and can determine their ability to do various yoga poses. In fact, I think this message is so important that viewing Anatomy for Yoga or taking a workshop from Paul should be a requirement in all yoga teacher training programs

The production quality of this DVD is outstanding. The graphics are beautiful. The menu structure is easy to navigate. If you are looking to sit with a compassionate and knowledgeable teacher who communicates well to deepen your understanding of anatomy and your yoga practice ... I can think of no better DVD. Anatomy for Yoga is an excellent resource in every yoga teacher's library!”

this is fantastic - I have a much better understanding now of how the joints work and how people's bodies differ. Why I have trouble getting my heels on the ground in downward dog! Everyone studying yoga should watch this. A nice humorous approach too.

Essential knowledge very clearly presented by Paul Grilley with the help of students bodies and his own. This DVD makes it clear when you should accept limitation in a pose and be carefull and when you could ask more (of yourself or others) without danger of acutually damaging a joint, which seems very important, and actually complicated, but it is shown in a very transparant and simple way. A true master of yoga and of teaching!
