Book Reviews of Yoga Anatomy
Book Review: a missing link has been found
Summary: 5 Stars
excellent book... well-organized by asana. first book i have seen that applies so clearly and crisply per pose: alignment, detailed notes on anatomy involved, joint & limb actions, muscular actions, risks, levels of difficulty, notes, sanskrit translations, and crisp drawings based upon photographs from multiple angles. primary focus approached via breath and the spine. this is a treasure trove and not a million pages either - each pose is one to three pages - digestible in mini-sittings and at a glance.Book Review: Too Technical
Summary: 2 Stars
As a yoga practitioner with little formal knowledge of anatomy, this book does not offer what I was looking for. I was hoping for something more practical that would give me an anatomical explanation and help with poses that I find difficult. Though the "Obstacles & Notes" section does offer this, the explanations are very technical, often referring to muscles not labeled on the drawings. It assumes that the reader speaks the language of anatomy and the illustrations, though beautiful, are confusing.Book Review: Incredible resource
Summary: 5 Stars
"Yoga Anatomy" by Leslie Kaminoff is a precious gift to the postural Yoga community. Leslie's wealth of knowledge of anatomy, breathing and bodywork shines on every page.
This book is easy to understand and beautifully illustrated and comes complete with Sanskrit and English terms and a chapter on breathing. "Yoga Anatomy" is an invaluable book and one I would highly recommend for teacher training programs.

Book Review: yoga anatomy
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a yoga teacher and remedial massage therapist and I integrate yoga into my work. The quality of the graphics in this work are a fabulous resource to explain to members of the public how their body works and what they are doing as they stretch and rehabilitate. Visually and verbally accessible on lots of levels the knowledge contained in the book is excellent. For my yoga students many have gone off and purchsed their own and shown interest in others in the series.
thankyou, K.
Book Review: Any library strong in yoga or new age will find this anatomical approach specific and invaluable.
Summary: 5 Stars
Plenty of books outline the fundamentals of yoga, but how many provide an illustrated anatomical guide to postures, movements and breathing techniques which blends anatomy with yoga moves? YOGA ANATOMY offers a visual approach that allows learners to see how all the muscles interact during various poses. Chapters survey joint actions, poses, and how yoga helps various conditions. Any library strong in yoga or new age will find this anatomical approach specific and invaluable.
