Science of Yoga

When I do guided yoga, they get me into the pose bit-by-bit and I don't really have the time to really ensure that every muscle in my body is doing exactly what it should do to really do the pose with proper form. In the beginning, sure, the vocal guidance is plenty good-enough. However, since I want to unleash the full magic of each of the poses, this book serves as an amazing guide. It says for each pose, for each muscle in the body, should it be stretching or pushing. Turns out muscles I didn't realize were supposed to be engaged at all are an important part of most poses. This format works much better to me than the list of vocal cues with photos of models that other books I've seen have.
