Yoga on anatomical foundations

Yoga on Anatomical Foundations is a comprehensive work that introduces you to the yoga tradition from both a practical and scientific perspective. Students, teachers, practitioners, and those who are just becoming acquainted with this ancient teaching will all find something to enjoy.

The book combines modern science and tradition. Learn about the history of yoga - including an interpretation of the classical texts. You will discover 50 classic yoga postures (asanas) and their modifications for safer practice. You will learn how to breathe properly, with basic breathing exercises (pranayama). But another important aspect of yoga is not forgotten - the inner development of the human being.

In addition to clear, informative text, the book also contains anatomical and physiological descriptions of the human body and relevant information on energy anatomy - in other words, an interpretation of the human body and the chakras.

For each asana you will find warnings about possible health complications, but also information about its physical, psychological and energetic benefits. The asanas are accompanied by photographs of the exercises and anatomical drawings that show in detail the main muscles involved in the pose.

Through the interpretation of relaxation, mudras, and meditation practices, Yoga on Anatomical Foundations will allow you to delve deeper into this teaching and, through physical discipline, help you experience yoga as a spiritual discipline.
