Wonderfully concise and clear, Anatomy & Yoga is sure to become one of the most-used guides for yoga teachers and students alike. Ellen Saltonstall has teased out the most important concepts one needs to know when applying the complex subject of anatomy to asana practice and presented them in a format that is clear and easy to follow. The book brilliantly illustrates the interrelationships between individual parts of the body in a way that encourages critical thinking, fostering a holistic understanding of anatomy that goes well beyond memorizing names and actions of muscles. Practice suggestions provide the reader with the opportunity to immediately apply the information through movement, touch, and feeling on one’s own or another’s body. As an anatomy teacher for yoga teachers in training, I will be requiring Anatomy & Yoga as the main reference book for my classes. Kristine Whittle, yoga teacher trainer, LMT, assistant director, Control Group Productions Ellen Saltonstall’s new book, Anatomy & Yoga, is comprehensive and easy to read, and it contains a full exploration of the amazing human body and its functioning for a healthy and balanced yoga practice. Saltonstall combines her immense wonder of the body and life-long movement study into this one gem of a book. I will definitely be using this book for the anatomy portion of future teacher training programs. Julie Dohrman, yoga instructor, teacher trainer and founder of Shaktiyoga New York Ellen Saltonstall is celebrated for her ability to bring anatomy to a level that all students can understand and apply to their yoga practices. This book is a must for teachers, teacher trainings, students and anyone else who is interested in knowing more about their bodies as they relate to yoga or other movement modalities.
