Unlock the Science of Stillness: Master Yoga with Anatomical Precision
Do you want to deepen your yoga practice by understanding exactly how your body moves in every pose? Whether you are a curious beginner or an intermediate practitioner looking to refine your alignment, Yoga Anatomy and Physiology for Beginners is your essential guide to the "why" behind the "how."
Written by Nicole Narita, this comprehensive guide bridges the gap between ancient practice and modern science. Most yoga books show you the pose, but this book reveals the mechanics under the skin—identifying the specific muscles engaged, the physiological benefits of each movement, and the mental shifts that occur during practice.
Inside this guide, you will discover:
Detailed Anatomical Breakdowns: Step-by-step instructions for foundational and intermediate poses—from the grounding Warrior I to the challenging Peacock Pose—complete with a list of primary muscles like the triceps brachii, gluteus maximus, and erector spinae.
Clear Instructions for All Levels: Learn how to safely execute poses with expert tips on alignment, common mistakes to avoid, and how to use props like blocks and straps for support.
Holistic Benefits: Understand how each asana impacts your internal health, from improving circulation and aiding digestion to detoxifying organs through poses like the Spinal Twist.
Wellness Insights: Go beyond the physical with "Wellness Insights" for every pose, helping you connect your physical effort to emotional release, clarity, and inner peace.
Practical Recovery: Includes essential advice on resting in Savasana (Corpse Pose) and Child’s Pose to integrate the effects of your practice.
Perfect for those who spend long hours at a desk or anyone seeking to build a resilient body and a calm mind, this book provides the tools to transform your yoga practice into a moving meditation.
