Book Review: Yoga Anatomy

I'm so impressed with this book. Especially as it was recommended in one of those cheesy "buy 10 books for 1 penny" brochures. I disregarded the flyer, but checked out the book on Amazon.com. It had some great reviews, so I ordered it.

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a thick book (not a flimsy thing) filled with illustrations of all the muscles used in each yoga pose. I practice yoga, so it's helpful to look up different poses and see what's happening in the body. There's also a lengthy and informative chapter on breathing and how the rib cage and diaphragm work. So even if yoga is not your thing, this book can teach you a lot about the anatomy of your body.
