Summary:
"
Your
Body
,
Your
Yoga
goes beyond any prior
yoga
anatomy book. It looks at the
body
's unique anatomical structures and what this means to everyone's individual range of motion, and also examines the physiological sources of restrictions to movement. Two volumes are provided in this book: Volume 1 raises a new mantra to be used in every
yoga
posture: What Stops Me? The answers presented run through a spectrum, beginning with a variety of tensile resistance to three kinds of compressive resistance. Examined is the nature of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, bones and our extracellular matrix and their contribution to mobility. The shape of these structures also defines our individual, ultimate range of movement, which means that not every
body
can do every
yoga
posture. The reader will discover where his or her limits lie, which dictates which
alignment
cues
will work
best
, and which ones should be abandoned. Volume 2 will take these principles and apply them to thelower
body
, examining the hip joint, the knee, ankle and foot, and will present how
your
unique variations in these joints will show up in
your
yoga
practice."--Provided by publisher.
"'More important than knowing what kind of pose the student is doing is knowing what kind of student is doing the pose.' There is a revolution occurring in
yoga
today around the
alignment
paradigm. The concept of one and only one ideal
alignment
for each
yoga
posture, taught through an "aesthetic" focus on how the student looks in the pose, is being replaced by a "functional" approach that acknowledges not only the intention of the posture but each student's unique biology and biography. In parallel, the paradigm of focusing on the muscles as the limiters and causal agents of movement is being replaced by a broader understanding. The role of fascia is being recognized and incorporated into
yoga
classes and trainings. Beyond muscles and fascia, there is a wide spectrum of causes for and resistance to motion, ranging from various sources of tension to the qualities of compression.
Your
Body
,
Your
Yoga
is the first book in a series describing the many contributors to limitations in our
yoga
practice. This book looks at the lower
body
, and the variety of shapes, movements and potential restrictions to movement in the hips, knees, ankles and feet. Introduced are the causes of resistance to movement, the frequency, extent and consequences of human variation, and their implications for our
yoga
practice."--Back cover.
