Description
The Physiology of Yoga by Andrew McGonigle and Matthew Huy is a comprehensive guide to understanding the physiological basis of yoga. By examining how the body responds to yoga within various systems, this book separates fact from speculation, providing straightforward explanations for sorting through conflicting information about yoga's effects on the body and mind. You can experiment with concepts through Try It Yourself sidebars, exploring mindful movement, meditation, and breathing practices. The 14 Myth or Fact sidebars also examine popular claims about yoga, using current research to determine their validity. This allows you to make informed decisions about your practice and avoid potentially harmful or counterproductive methods. With detailed explanations of specific yoga poses and four sequences, this book provides a practical understanding of how yoga affects physiology. By navigating the conflicting views on yoga's impact, you can learn to practice yoga while fully enjoying its benefits of mindful movement.
