The Anatomy of Exercise & Movement: For the Study of Dance, Pilates, Sport and Yoga - Brossura

Excellent! Clear, detailed and easy to follow with colourful illustrations throughout. Highly recommended for all those involved in movement, with in depth analysis of many common Yoga poses, as well as advice for dancers, Pilates & sportspeople. --Jane Sill, Editor, Yoga & Health ... attractive and easy to read, with a plethora of interesting illustrations addressing skeletal anatomy, muscle position and attachment, and additional structures of relevance such as ligaments, bursae and menisci. These are sufficiently detailed and clear enough to enable easy understanding of joint function and muscle action during body movements and the exercises described. The practical application of anatomy in familiar exercise positions should greatly enhance reader understanding, and the explanations and communication style clearly derive from the author's teaching experience and enthusiasm for her subject. --Positive Health, August 2010
