From pose to pose during yoga, the muscles guide the bones,
maintain the joints, protect the nerves, suspend or lift parts of the body –
their roles are quite varied.
To this end, they must be both strong and supple, able to
relax, to stretch, or to combine several functions to coordinate their actions.
A well-designed yoga practice can gradually develop these different qualities
within the muscles.
Anatomy of Yoga is a guide to the different roles played
by the muscles in yoga practice. Through helpful examples and over 500 color
drawings that illustrate individual poses and how each pose engages one or more
muscles, the reader is able to distinguish and understand their various roles.
This, in turn, leads to a more enlightened and beneficial yoga experience.
