The effects of yoga on each part of the body are explained with thorough analysis and explanations of asanas, vinyasas, bandhas, mudras and kriyas.
Using basic principles of biomechanics and neurophysiology this book explains how to improve strength, flexibility and fitness while maintaining joint stability and minimising the risk of injury.
This comprehensive text includes hundreds of photographs, diagrams, and tables and is a practical, useful and informative guide for teachers and students of all styles of hatha yoga.
