Science of Yoga: Understand the Anatomy and Physiology to Perfect Your Practice (DK Science of)

解剖学的な視点から英語の勉強も兼ねて身体を把握したくて購入。満足です。

En anglais mais une vrai source de savoir. A compléter cependant avec d’autres livres pour une compréhension optimale.

Unfortunately I returned my copy because I received it damaged. I can only talk about my first impressions. At first glance the way that knowledge is presented seems a little too general, the layout is a like a chaotic school textbook too. That may be appealing for some but me personally, I like simple, old-fashioned books where the knowledge is condensed in an organized manner. I could probably still learn from this book as it approached many different subjects. Now, the illustrations are fantastic. Too bad they decided to put those detailed, beautiful illustrations split across two pages, which makes them almost useless. You can't even read some descriptions. This is a huge flaw in my opinion. Possibly in the future the format could be slightly bigger, and some illustrations smaller, so one would fit on a single page. That, I would reorder.

Detailed and informative. Happy to have it in my library.

This book is an excellent, concise guide to understanding joint mobility and muscle engagement. I’m hooked - I’ve sat down to read it for pleasure twice already! As an experienced and senior yoga teacher, finding a book I want to read, and return to, is gold dust. The clear illustrations, with color-coded visuals for engaged and stretched muscles, make it easy to see and understand key movements. I especially appreciated the practical tips throughout, which, while familiar, are very useful for teachers looking to share helpful insights with students. Overall, it simplifies complex concepts, concretes the anatomically relevant facts and provides actionable advice, making it a great resource for both personal practice and teaching. I love it!

Excelente para quem quer ver o lado científico da sua prática de yoga. Sou apenas curiosa, mas me ajudou muito. Os desenhos tem ótima qualidade.
