Anatomy For Vinyasa Flow And Standing Poses

differing a bit from the other three books in this series, this book goes more in depth about the movement of muscles in a series of asanas rather than concentrating on individual postures. deconstructing common vinyasa sequences, this book shows the major muscles groups responsible for each series of movements and how to isolate them for increased effectiveness. it also shows the joint positions and ways to use them to guide your asana practice.
