Bodystories: A Guide to Experimental Anatomy (Paperback)

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

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 text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic!, August 9, 2004

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thinking through the body!, August 9, 2007

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!
