Functional Anatomy of Yoga is a rare gem. This book enables both the casual reader and the seasoned practitioner to understand and implement the anatomical structure and function of the body in yoga. Written with a conversational tone, the book delivers the complex subject of human anatomy in a way that is both provocative and clear. The underlying theme of the book is integration. David Keil outlines how yoga teachers and practitioners can utilize a deeper understanding of their anatomy as they approach the larger scheme of yoga. How do the supposed "parts and pieces" of the body synchronize to support integrated movement? Finally, how do the various yoga postures interrelate from the perspective of functional anatomy? Not only is David Keil an authority on the subject of anatomy, but he also has the wisdom and first-hand experience of a skilled yoga teacher and practitioner. He has been presenting the subject of anatomy in a way that is interesting, meaningful, and applicable to teachers and students alike since 2000. Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour images and photographs to clearly explain the concepts and asanas, Functional Anatomy of Yoga will assist you in reaching new heights in your yoga practice using the "laboratory" of the body and the tools of yoga asana.

Product description

About the Author

David began teaching anatomy as an instructor of kinesiology at Miami's Educating Hands School of Massage from 1999-2003. David developed a fun, informal and informative style of teaching. David brought his unique style and ability to make anatomical concepts simple, to the yoga world in 2008, with the creation of the YogAnatomy DVD series. He is well known for delivering the complex and sometimes difficult topic of anatomy in a way that is very accessible and understandable to yoga practitioners. He emphasizes that fully understanding anatomy within a yoga practice ultimately comes from doing the practice and having the experience of your anatomy.

Avid reader

5 stars plus plus

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2018

Verified Purchase

The book deserves 5 stars plus.
I am no instructor of Yoga. I do practice yoga but what called my attention to the book is the fact that the author is a professor of kinesiology so I thought, he knew how to explain movement and relate it to the yoga poses.
I was wowed by the way he makes things so clear. My knowledge of anatomy is pretty advanced, but David nails it! The language is adequate to the professional and the laymen.
If you want to understand movement, I urge you to buy this book.
Shame that there are not more books around written by Mr. Keil. We would all benefit in learning from him.

Not for people with no previous knowledge of yoga or anatomy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2018

Currently doing a yoga teacher training programme. I’ve read some articles by this author and liked the way anatomy was explained.
This book did not disappoint. It covers the body starting at foot working up through each section of the human body and all areas are covered comprehensively.
Excellent book for those with some knowledge of anatomy and yoga.

Very good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this book not just because I'm hoping to train as a yoga teacher soon, but also because I suffer with lower back problems and I wanted to understand how I can use yoga to overcome it without putting unnecessary strain on my back. Although it is a fabulous book, it is very in-depth and I find myself zoning out trying to understand it! Maybe I need the video series to fully understand everything!

Anatomy in plain english at last

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2020

Verified Purchase

Explains anatomy in a straight forward way, giving more detail than my hatha yoga instructor course. I know It's logical to read from the beginning but finding myself bouncing around specific chapters based on where I'm most keen to understand more, chapter on hips and lotus pose particularly useful. Very pleased.
