Book Review: A fantastic tool for understanding muscle involvement in Yoga postures
Summary: 4 Stars
Yoga Anatomy
I have been taking yoga lessons for about 2-1/2 years, mainly to help with lower back pain (I am in my late 60's). And, the yoga helps tremendously; the stiffness pain is bearable, and only occasionally do I have to resort to taking Tylenol. But, I wanted to understand just which muscles, tendons, and perhaps nerves were being strengthened, stretched or protected by the various yoga postures, including some postures that my physician as well as a few yoga instructors urged me not to assume. This wonderfully inexpensive and yet high production quality soft cover book gave me the information that I needed, and the graphics are beautiful. My only criticism is that it was difficult to find the illustration for the one posture that gives me the most relief, "Pigeon." I finally found it, but only after diligent searching, and as a sub-heading for another posture. I just re-checked, and it took me about 10 minutes to find it once again (note to self: better insert a bookmark), but as a variation to "One-Legged Royal Pigeon Pose," in the Kneeling Poses section where I would not expect to have found the Pigeon pose that gives me (and sciatica sufferers) so much relief. So, my recommendation to the authors would be to develop a much more extensive and descriptive index in future editions, one where the beginner would not be handicapped by an lack of familiarity with the author's sense of asana (pose) classification.
