Description
Your Body, Your Yoga explores how individual anatomical structures affect our unique range of motion and movement. It delves into the physiological sources of restrictions to movement, examining muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, bones, and extracellular matrix.
Two volumes are presented in this book: Volume 1 introduces a new mantra for every yoga posture: What Stops Me? This spectrum ranges from tensile resistance to three types of compressive resistance. The reader will discover their individual limits and how these dictate the best alignment cues for their practice. Volume 2 applies these principles to the lower body, examining the hip joint, knee, ankle, and foot.
By understanding your unique variations in these joints, you'll gain insight into how they impact your yoga practice. This book provides a comprehensive approach to yoga anatomy, helping you tailor your practice to your individual needs.
