"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.

I was extremely pleased with this book. Great biological-physical explanations of what happens in your body and how it works with yoga practice.
Full of nice illustrations which really exemplify and support what you're reading, so it becomes really much easier to understand stuff.
Not complicated at all, but still very explanatory. If you're into yoga and would like to know a litle bit more of what happens to your body, which muscles you work in different asanas, and how its beneficial to you , then I really recomend you get this. You won't be dissapointed.

I first saw this book in the library and was so impressed by it that I had to buy one for my personal reference. It is greatly illustrated. They photographed a person in several yoga positions and then inserted the muscular anatomy into the pose. I found the muscle information very helpful as well as the description of the positions. If you want to know how yoga is affecting your muscles in your body then you will love this book.

This is a very thorough, but very technical book. It's better for yoga teachers than for the layman, but it's informative.
