5.0 out of 5 stars
Extremely valuable,

This review is from: Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries (Spiral-bound)
As a yoga instructor, I am always looking for books to assist my growth as a teacher. Anatomy can be a challenging aspect of teaching yoga - until now. "Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries" by Susi Hately Aldous is a very accessible anatomy book for yoga instructors and practitioners alike. Unlike other similar books, which tend to be dry, boring reading, this book is written in an easy to understand fashion with clear illustrations. I felt more comfortable with my understanding of anatomy and how it relates to yoga after reading this book. It will be a very useful companion to my other anatomy books - and most likely, it will be the main one I turn to.

A MUST HAVE for Yogi's and Yogini's,
By
This review is from: Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries (Spiral-bound)
If your are conducting Yoga Asana training of any style consider this for one of your textbooks. If you teach Asana of any style this book is a must read. If you own a studio this should be required reading for every teacher before they are allowed to do hands-on corrections (alignments) in your studio. If you are a student you should consider buying this as a helpful guide for your own practise.
Well presented, readable, good illustrations, --highly recommended. Complements Coulters classic Anatomy and Hatha Yoga.

Potential, but not this version,
By
This review is from: Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries (Spiral-bound)
A book on injury prevention is definitely needed in the yoga community. Unfortunately, this book falls short. I think it has potential and a second edition would be great. However, the first 46 pages should be condensed in to about 5-10, fluff in general should be limited, and the diagrams in the asana section should be more informative.
Repetitively on each page in the asana section the author refers to muscle groups and provides a beautifully drawn diagram with too few good, useful labels. This style left me frustrated and confused. In general, it is a gorgeous book, but absolutely tedious at times.
