Yogabody: Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Asana
Drawing on almost 40 years' experience as a yoga teacher and physical therapist, author Judith Hanson focuses here on macroanatomy and kinesiology in relationship to asana practice and teaching. Organized into five parts - the locomotor system, the vertebral column, the lower extremity, the trunk, and the upper extremity, Yogabody covers the body's bones, joints, connective tissue, nerves, and muscles. This valuable guide builds on what yoga teachers already know and enables them to quickly decide what might help their students move with more enjoyment and less difficulty.

The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice
I can think of no better book to recommend to a friend beginning to be excited by yoga but bewildered by the plethora of different schools and their sometimes-conflicting teachings. In addition, I would be hard-pressed to think of a book I would recommend more highly to any yoga student seeking to deepen a yoga practice. . . . The great gift of The Heart of Yoga lies not simply in the depth of Desikachar's learning, but in the compassion, gentleness, practicality, and down-to-earth spirit that permeate the book. -- Yoga Journal
