Anatomy of Asana
Blueprints for Stability and Alignment in Yoga
“In a modern yoga world where information is abundant but not always accurate, this book stands out as both trustworthy and practical. Teachers will find tools they can apply immediately in their classes; students will gain insight into how to practice with intelligence and curiosity; and anyone who has ever questioned a cue, struggled with a pose, or longed for more clarity in their practice will feel supported and empowered.”
— Simon Borg-Olivier
