A 20th century classic,
By R Rosen "Piedmont Yoga Studio" (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Thinking Body (Paperback)
Mabel Todd's The Thinking Body is a must read for every serious Yoga student. It's the source book for what's called ideokinesis, a wonderful system of body-mind education based on the use of creative imagery. Much of what I learned in Yoga classes in my early years as a student I found echoed in Todd's book, which was written in the 1930s. It's not always easy to find a copy, and if you can get one for under $20, snap it up.

This review is from: The Thinking Body (Paperback)
In a very simple and interesting way,
It allows to see the human body like an integral part of us. How postures, physical development, connects with our personalities, needs, strenghts and challenges. Just brilliant.

The Thinking Body,
This review is from: The Thinking Body (Paperback)
Invaluable insight into the precise workings of the skeletal-muscular structure ot the human body and the influence of the mind on its function. Written in extremely accesaible language( to the lay reader), and complete with the original drawings that of beautifully illustrate the text in painstaking detail. Extremely easy reading, yet chock full of the most erudite knowledge on the subject. A virtual mechanics manual for the human muscular skeletal frame and the forces that drive it to bring it into balance.
