Using a wealth of detailed, full-colour illustrations of the human skeleton and musculature, orthopaedic surgeon and yoga expert Ray Long explains the anatomy and physiology of 55 key yoga exercises.
In detail, he shows and describes which muscle groups must work together when performing complex yoga poses. The reader learns how to activate these muscles in order to deepen and stabilise the postures and thus gain more benefit from the exercises. For better orientation, the exercises are divided into categories based on the movement patterns. This makes it easy to compare and distinguish them from each other in terms of how they work.
This book is a helpful exercise companion that enriches the philosophy and art of yoga with its scientific background. Improve your body awareness, activate your muscles - and your yoga training will become a completely new experience.
