The
Key Poses of Hatha Yoga by Ray Long MD FRCSC is a
learning tool for fully understanding the muscular anatomy
of Hatha Yoga and integrating this knowledge with experience
of the poses. Synergistic muscles that contract during
a posture are clearly shown in varying shades of blue based
on how strong their action is during the pose. Antagonistic
muscles which relax during the posture are shown in varying
shades of red. In the text Dr. Long suggests we use a particular
muscle as a focus during practice so that naming it and
feeling its action become integrated in our consciousness.
Fifty-five poses are illustrated and described
in this way with numerous insets detailing important aspects of the musculoskeletal
system in the poses. Also included are sections on the biomechanics of stretching,
physiology of stretching and muscle awakening. In all there are over 400 stunning
full color illustrataions of the science of yoga with detailed explanations.
This book is spiral bound for ease of study and use during practice. It is a
fantastic resource for any serious yoga student.
