Anatomy of Yoga
Dr. Abigail Ellsworth’s Anatomy of Yoga is a groundbreaking visual reference to the muscles engaged by specific yoga poses, for yoga teachers and students alike. In addition, it explains in detail the basics of yoga, breathing and the spine, concentrating on the body's core musculature.
Each pose is shown in a full-color photograph opposite a detailed and annotated anatomical drawing that identifies the active and stabilizing muscles being used. By identifying affected muscles, practitioners can maximize the benefits of each pose and design a personalized yoga routine that focuses on their specific problem areas.
You’ll find helpful side panels, including "best for" information boxes that describe which muscles work the most during each pose. Plus, there are tip boxes about safety and form, outlining the target muscles for and benefits of each pose. Dr. Ellsworth also suggests ways to modify the intensity of the exercises.
Anatomy of Yoga is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in enhancing a personal yoga fitness routine and for yoga instructors who want a visual aid that clearly illustrates the benefits of each exercise for themselves and their students.
