Research literally drips off every page as this book beautifully pulls together the essential anatomical information to help yoga teachers lead with even more grace and confidence. Layered on top are common injuries that might be encountered, alongside practical yoga-based solutions.

Usually, I switch off when I pick up a yoga anatomy book. Not this one. It is so clearly written, in a tone that is both very engaging & accessible, with beautiful & clear illustrations too.

I found this book very helpful, not only for understanding how to take care and rehab my own injury, but it will also prove helpful for any students coming to my yoga classes with injuries. The text is very well written and accessible to all, and really interesting.
