Perfect for your 200 hour certification! November 23, 2008
This book was shown to us during my 200 hr. yoga certification class. This is the creme de la creme of anatomy books! The skeleton figures depict what each muscle is doing as it is in specific yoga poses as well as what the opposite muscles (antagonists) are doing as well. An extremely comprehensive book that is a must have for any yoga teacher or student. Highly recommended!
Great book November 22, 2008
Great book and beautifully and correctly illustrated. I wish I had this when I was taking anatamy. It allows me to see the insertions and origins of the muscles so well.
A more inspiring, beautiful, and practical anatomy text does not exist October 31, 2008

Enough cannot be said of Ray Long and Chris Macivor's outstanding contribution to not only the yoga community, but all students of the body. The art is beautiful and one of a kind, and shows exactly what we need to see in the body from each pose. They have specifically answered what we want to know about what the body is up to with each asana. This is exceptionally refreshing because the specific questions about the body's systems are actually addressed - we don't have to guess and imagine, as we have for so long when studying the typical anatomy book. In two words - comprehensive and amazing. Two more - thank you.
The graphics are clear and very easy to learn the entire body! October 11, 2008
Anatomy is not the easiest subject for me to memorize. Each page was clearly marked and assisted me to learn more than I ever imagined I could.
Best instructions for a Yoga practicionar or Yoga teacher September 13, 2008
The knowledge of this volume is better for Yoga practice than an anatomy book for medical professionals because the focus is on asanas. So the profit for your own practice and supervision is excellent.
When I do my daily Yoga the books I and II are just at my side to make sure which muscles are especially concerned and I keep on exploring...
