Review: Very insightful anatomy book - I buy a lot of anatomy books, but I can't read very many of them. Far too many are merely picture books with line drawings in them of bones, muscles, body parts labeled with latin sounding names. This book by contrast is readable. It has paragraphs, diagrams and photos. Like a well sequenced yoga practice the ideas flow organically. I suggest you read the book in order, cover to cover and I would not say that about most anatomy books. As the title suggests this is an anatomy book for practitioners of yoga. Whether you are a student or a teacher you can learn how your body works. I think even if you are med student you may like this book as it will help you understand you patients. This book is written from a very human perspective. Most anatomy books by contrast are very dry. If reading this book gets you interested in yoga, even better. The dvd by David Keil was also helpful.
Review: I took a year of college anatomy complete with cadaver lab yet I feel like I have more functional knowledge after reading this b - The only times I could put this book down were when the insights and information were so profound I had to stop and let it soak in. I took a year of college anatomy complete with cadaver lab yet I feel like I have more functional knowledge after reading this book. He makes anatomy interesting and accessible, even fascinating. He presents anatomy based on understanding, not memorization. I feel like my yoga practice is more focussed with this emphasis on which tissues you want the pressure on for each family of poses. It's detailed when that detail is necessary and useful, yet also gives an impressive overview. I love this book and will refer back to it again and again.The information is so practical and pertinent to a yoga practice. He gives clear exercises within the poses to be able to feel what he is talking about. Great book. If you are interested in what is happening in the muscles in yoga poses and understanding why we align poses the way we do, this is the book. I love that it is not dogmatic and it explains why alignment may be different for different people.

*by P***. on July 13, 2016*

This book has helped me as a practitioner and as a teacher. David has put a lot of work into explaining very complicated subjects in a simple way. Whether you want to simply know why you can't do a pose or you want an in-depth description of all the pertinent anatomical structures and how they come together to produce movement you will enjoy this book! As a side note, his adjustments are top notch and his yoga adjustments DVD explains how he analyzes and approaches the application of external mechanical forces to help others achieve a deeper posture. His body of work demonstrates he is more than just a pretty face using gut intuitions to "feel" the poses. He actually knows what is happening or not happening and how to explain it. I know I spent a long time working with intuitive teachers who were really nice people, but nobody has helped me grow my practice and my understanding of anatomy more than David Keil. He is a top-notch professional and having worked with him in person I can say he is also a really nice guy!
