Review # 1 was written on 2009-08-28 00:00:00 John Locallo I have read most of the major yoga anatomy books and they are all great however somehow they seem to miss the mark in some way. This one no doubt will disappoint some people too. Too bad as I feel it is by far the most useful for anyone who plans on teaching yoga to read. Judith explains things like no one else can. The study of anatomy and kinesiology is something that is a continuous lifelong project and one cannot live on one anatomy book alone! However if anatomy ain't your bag yet you need to bone up on it anyway then this is the one book you should have.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-22 00:00:00 Todd Morrill This book has graced my reading table for many weeks as it has intentionally taken me quite awhile to read. There is an abundance of anatomical information complete with an experiential anatomy section to explore at the end of each chapter. I was eager to read this book as it accompanies the online course Experiential Anatomy that, if my grant request is funded, I will take this summer. There is no doubt that some of the anatomical information was overly detailed for me, and there were too many proofreading errors that should have been caught by professional editors. However, the book helped me to make several connections and come up with some mnemonics for better understanding and recall. For instance, I finally get that the ulna is on the thumb side and the radius is on the pinky side. Mnemonic is that the ulna goes all the way to the "u" of thumb. (Yuh, I could have come up with that one ages ago, but I didn't!)
