​Alignment for Yoga Practice and Therapy Therapy
​
Yoga is one of the fastest growing health and fitness practices. It goes beyond traditional exercise programs, dedicated to balancing flexibility with strength through precision in alignment and movement. It provides sophisticated and effective therapy for pain and injury - but only when in harmony with the body's anatomical design and function. 
​
Our book is a comprehensive exploration of yoga alignment based on the most current knowledge of anatomy and body mechanics. It explores the posture and position of each region of the body and importantly, their dynamic relationship with each other. Questions that frequently arise when teaching or in personal practice are answered clearly and precisely.  Step-by-step instructions are given that are easy to apply and always with the intention to bridge anatomical discussions with traditional yogic philosophy.
 
Every yoga style, no matter how esoteric, ultimately depends upon a working knowledge of the body and awareness of postural alignment. The goal in our book is to support all yogic traditions and all personal approaches.
 
For health professionals who have yoga-practicing patients and clients, or incorporate yoga into their therapies, this is a must-have resource.
