Yoga on anatomical foundations

Yoga on anatomical foundations is a comprehensive work that introduces you to the tradition of yoga from a practical and scientific perspective. Students, teachers, practitioners and those who are just getting acquainted with this ancient teaching will find their own.

The book combines modern science and tradition. You will learn about the history of yoga – including interpretation of classical texts. You will discover 50 classic yoga postures (asanas) and their modifications for safer performance. You will learn how to breathe properly, with basic breathing exercises (pranayama). But another important aspect of yoga is not forgotten – the inner development of man.

In addition to clear, informative text, the book also contains anatomical and physiological descriptions of the human body and relevant information on energy anatomy – in other words, the interpretation of the human body and the chakras.

For each asana you will find a warning about possible health complications, but also information about its physical, psychological and energetic benefits. The asanas are accompanied by photographs with individual exercises and anatomical drawings that show in detail the main muscles involved in the position.

Through the interpretation of relaxation, mudras and meditation practices, Yoga on Anatomical Foundations will enable you to go deeper into this teaching and, through physical discipline, help you experience yoga as a spiritual discipline.
