Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers, and Practitioners review:5 stars (Blending science and spirituality) - This book is an excellent anatomy review that uses yoga asanas as examples, or perhaps a great yoga book that uses science to deepen our understanding. I am a science teacher and yoga student who finds this book to be a wonderful resource.5 stars (Helped me a lot) -
Being an actual practitioner of many disciplines has helped me in many different areas of my own self, including my mind, my body and my soul... Well, this book in question is a very good source for the one looking for hatha yoga, and I especially like the way in which it is presented: very clear and with good explanations.

Though I do not think this is a manual or book for beginners, I do totally recommend it for people with at least a short base in this system, and definitely a book I will keep. There is a lot of information within, and also, the anatomy described is definitely something one should know, at least, as general knowledge.

Remember: with a little bit of energy, anyone can learn!5 stars (Great for understanding what yoga is doing to your body) - I think this book is wonderful. The writing is conversational, and witty, he has the best little, fun and inspiring asides from the regular text that I look foreward to in reading this book. The eplainations for concepts of anatomy are pretty straight foreward, no pressure. He clearly has a passion for his subject which shows and inspires the reader to keep at yoga, especially when you see someone else loving it so much. The book, i believe, is best read straight through, (daunting?- no, it's pretty easy-going and not so boring that it's painful to read- he makes neurons exciting!)My reasoning is that each section leads to more understanding for the future chapters. He also has a ton of other books to check out, if the brief explainations only serve to wet your wistle. This book is a physical study of yoga so if you want more of a spiritual history you'll have to go elsewhere, but that's alright. In the end his passion for yoga and the understanding of it will shine through and will make the reader's interest for yoga grow into a passion much like his.
