Co written by physiotherapists and yoga teachers Simon Borg Olivier MSc BAppSc Physiotherapy and Bianca Machliss BSc BAppSc Physiotherapy Applied Anatomy Physiology of Yoga includes recent and previously unpublished research into the science of hatha yoga and yoga therapy The effects of yoga on each part of the body are explained with thorough analysis and explanations of asanas vinyasas bandhas mudras and kriyas Using basic principles of biomechanics and neurophysiology this book explains how to improve strength flexibility and fitness while maintaining joint stability and minimising risk of injury This comprehensive text includes hundreds of photographs diagrams and tables and is a practical useful and informative guide for teachers and students of all styles of yoga Applied Anatomy Physiology Of YogaIt reads like an undergrad book on anatomy than a yoga focused manual It s very technical and there is little reference to yoga aside from some practical tips boxes and descriptions of poses at the end also very technical Depending on what you want to purchase the book for it may or may not be the best fit For a yoga practicioner for example this is way too technical For a yoga teacher well you are a yoga teacher not a physio Do you really need to have THIS level of anatomical knowledge I would also be cautious venturing in a field as complex as anatomy with merely a book as a guide is never a good idea Particularly if the book has not been peer reviewed but rather self published I m not saying it s a bad book I m just saying buy or not after careful consideration Simon Borg Olivier
