1: Wonderful Book
This book is absolutely wonderful in its presentation of what is going on inside your body when doing yoga.
Though it is somewhat technical in some aspects, it is well worth your time to go through it and learn what is happening even if it is not clear the first time you read or look at it, though for the most part for me that was the exception rather than the rule.
If you practice yoga or are interested in anatomy in general, no matter what level of experience or knowledge you have in either subject, this is a very enjoyable and educational experience.
Highly recommended.

2: Excellent graphs and explanations!
This is a book I've been looking for to understand how muscles work on a yoga session. A must for all yoga practitioners who want to know how the asanas work.

3: Excellent learning tool!
This book is an excellent learning/reference tool...the illustrations are clear, the wording is concise (not too scientific) and each pose is listed in English and Sanskrit (including the phonetic spelling) - it's a must have!

4: It helps to be familiar with anatomical terminology
I just started studying yoga to better round out my workout routine. I picked up this book as something to help me better understand how to perform the asanas.
Pros: Well drawn anatomical drawings, clear descriptions of how the muscles work to enable you to perform the asanas
Cons: Requires some knowledge of anatomy (I have had anatomy classes so this was not a problem for me), descriptions don't tell you how to get INTO the poses, just how they work
I would not get this book to learn yoga. You would be more frustrated than helped (see the low rated comments). But if you are studying with a yogi then I think this book will help you better understand the processes that are happening when you do your poses.
