This week’s yoga anatomy
book is Yogabody by Judith Hanson
Lasater. It takes a more traditional
approach to the anatomy itself, including lots of charts about muscles with
origins and insertions. However, it adds
some hands-on explorations both within the text and in sections for the student
and for the teacher at the end of each chapter, offering an opportunity to
experience, say, how the patella moves, or to observe pelvic alignment.
The prose is clear and
the illustrations helpful. The tone is
friendly rather than intimidating, even though there is a ton of information.
I would describe it as a
useful reference rather than a page-turner, but it has given me plenty to think
about.
