Great Yoga Introduction for the Non-Spiritual
This book is absolutely great. It really goes into yoga from a biological point of view describing how our body moves through the motions and positions. It also does a great introduction into the spiritual parts of yoga that can be intimidating to those wanting to begin practicing without any spiritual leanings or foundations. It's a yoga book without a lot of "the woo" as some might put it and because of that I've read it cover to cover. It does of course touch on the spiritual aspects of yoga, because these things are connected but the way it's introduced is palatable for those of us who usually get turned off by such things. It's like your gateway into yoga, trust. Also very helpful if you're wanting to target any specific muscle group or area of the body. Very useful book!!

the only anatomy book
THis book is written from the most heart-centered place. It is filled with wisdom and dismantles the simple mechanistic model of the body in favor of a more contextual approach. Rich and wise. I've used is as a text book in all of the yoga teacher trainings I've lead.

Great resource
I work in healthcare so I’m familiar with anatomy and physiology. This book has been a great resource in my YTT training and really helped me connect the asanas to where the focus in the body is! It’s simplistic so if you have no medical background you’ll have no trouble.
