BodyStories is a book that engages the general reader as well as the serious student of anatomy. Thirty-one days of learning sessions heighten awareness about each bone and body system and provide self-guided studies. The book draws on Ms. Olsen's thirty years as a dancer and teacher of anatomy to show how our attitudes and approaches to our body affect us day to day. Amusing and insightful personal stories enliven the text and provide ways of working with the body for efficiency and for healing. BodyStories is used as a primary text in college dance departments, massage schools, and yoga training programs internationally.

Editorial Reviews
Review
BodyStories presents a much needed approach to human anatomy, one that is enlightening to beginning and graduate students alike.
This is a book to be done, not merely read; as you engage in Olsen's programmed sequence of lessons, you become the text and the illustrations.
This is experiential anatomy at its best. -- Dean Juhan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
"This is the perfect gift for anyone who wishes to be enticed into understanding more about themselves within the contect of their body, and anyone who wishes to understand anatomy in more dept through their own inner journeying." (Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Co-Director and Founder of The School for Body-Mind Centering )

This review is from: Bodystories: A Guide to Experiential Anatomy (Paperback)
this book really amazed me. the title alone drew me to it. i am a Pilates instructor and i wanted to learn as much as i could about the body and mind working together. this book breaks down the body into different areas, gives you a little anatomy lesson, and gives activities to connect with that body part. some are meditations and some are hands-on. it gives you a better idea of your own relationship to your body as well as a sense of gratitude for all it does for us. truly a gem!

Thinking through the body!,
By FoxxyNerd (The Bay Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bodystories: A Guide to Experiential Anatomy (Paperback)
This is a very good book. It is an excellent how to guide for growing to understand your body one part at a time. However, in the end the process seems truly integrative. I can see how it would be a very good book for bodywork beginners or pros. Enjoy!
