Building on the success of its predecessors, this revamped edition features new content to further augment your yoga practice:
- A new chapter offering history and context for the idea that anatomy is a story
- Updated chapters on the skeletal and muscular systems
- A new chapter on the nervous system that outlines its key functions and roles in the body
- Significantly expanded breathing and spine chapters to address disc anatomy and damage as well as back pain
- Newly added Cueing Callouts to provide tips and advice on teaching or performing a pose
- New stick figure icons to simply depict the alignment of each pose for quick reference
- A Breathing Inquiry section with each asana to illuminate the connection between breathing and a movement practice
This beautifully illustrated resource sorts yoga poses into six sections—standing, sitting, kneeling, supine, prone, and arm supports—and provides an inside look into each pose to offer a better understanding of the interactions of the muscles, joints, and nervous system that we use to create movement and breathing.
Authors Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews, both internationally respected specialists in yoga and breath anatomy, offer a solid grounding in the principles of physical practice common to many systems of yoga. Whether you are just beginning your journey or have been practicing for years, Yoga Anatomy will be an invaluable resource—one that allows you to see each movement in an entirely new light.
Gemeinsam mit der Bewegungstherapeutin Amy Matthews hat der anerkannte Yogaexperte Leslie Kaminoff in seinem Klassiker Yoga-Anatomie erstmals die Auswirkung der einzelnen Asanas auf die Muskelgruppen, Gelenke und Organe für Sie zusammengefasst sowie die Bedeutung der jeweils passenden Atemtechniken erläutert. Neben aktualisierten Informationen liefern Ihnen zwei zusätzliche Kapitel noch mehr Wissen rund um die wichtigsten Haltungen, wobei nun auch die besondere Rolle des Nervensystems im Yoga betrachtet wird. Auch in dieser Ausgabe werden über 150 Asanas durch exakte anatomische Illustrationen so detailgenau beschrieben, wie es anhand von Fotos niemals möglich wäre. Sie erhalten damit – egal, ob Einsteiger oder Profi – ein völlig neues Verständnis über die positive Wirkung von Yoga.
La nuova edizione è stata aggiornata, ampliata e migliorata con più illustrazioni anatomiche a colori e informazioni più approfondite, fornendo una conoscenza più dettagliata delle strutture e dei principi che sottostanno allo yoga e ad ogni suo movimento.
Dalla respirazione alle posizioni in piedi alle inversioni, il testo illustra come gli specifici muscoli rispondano ai movimenti delle articolazioni, come le variazioni di una posa possano aumentarne o ridurne l'efficacia, come la spina dorsale, la respirazione e la posizione del corpo siano strettamente collegati tra loro.
L'ampliamento dei capitoli sul respiro e sulla colonna vertebrale, i nuovi capitoli sugli apparati scheletrico e muscolare, la rivisitazione completa delle sezioni delle asana fanno di questa nuova edizione di yoga anatomy una risorsa preziosa: non solo per i professionisti e gli insegnanti di yoga e di tutte le altre forme di movimento utile per la salute, ma anche per chi è all'inizio del proprio percorso o chi, invece, pratica yoga con passione ormai da anni.
Esta segunda edição traz:
• Dois capítulos novos sobre os sistemas esquelético e muscular, além de uma breve história da coluna vertebral.
• Tabelas que organizam informações sobre as ações articulares e musculares.
• Discussão ampliada sobre o equilíbrio intrínseco e os bandhas.
• Variações de asanas adicionais e índices para ilustrações de articulações e de músculos específicos.
Esta obra é um recurso valioso não apenas para o iniciante como também para o praticante com muitos anos de experiência, pois oferece uma análise de cada movimento sob um ponto de vista inovador.
