Review: Best book on my yoga shelf - This book is an excellent, concise guide to understanding joint mobility and muscle engagement. I’m hooked - I’ve sat down to read it for pleasure twice already! As an experienced and senior yoga teacher, finding a book I want to read, and return to, is gold dust. The clear illustrations, with color-coded visuals for engaged and stretched muscles, make it easy to see and understand key movements.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Book!
*by L***A on 17 March 2025*

Incredibly beautiful book from Ann. Each page has been carefully thought out and is packed full of information backed up by research. The diagrams in the book by Arran Lewis are beautifully done, and help visualise what is happening in our bodies when practising yoga. I also love the updated pranayama section going through the typical breath work patterns. Above all, I love how this book is informed by up to date research, and it is clear that so much love has been put into this new edition
