5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars plus plus

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for people with no previous knowledge of yoga or anatomy.

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.

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Anatomy in plain english at last
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2020

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book - really useful
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2018

Great book - really useful, well written (except for misuse of 'impact'!), easy to understand, lots of really illuminating and useful diagrams and illustrations, and presented in a friendly, easily accessible way. Whether you're training to be a yoga teacher or just want to improve your own practice, this is a very good book.
