Book Reviews of Scientific Keys Volume I: The Key Muscles of Hatha Yoga
Book Review: Not your ordinary yoga book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a goldmine of information for those interested in muscle anatomy as found in the practice of yoga. As detailed as any myology book, this spiral-bound book shows the muscles used in a variety of yoga poses, from the perspective of muscle origin, insertion and action. In addition, information on nerve innervation and chakra illumination is given, as well as a short section on breathing and the bandhas.
I find this book, "The Key Muscles of Hatha Yoga" and its partner "The Key Poses of Hatha Yoga" to be exquisitely rendered, useful and satisfying books. Of the two, "Key Muscles" is more textbook-y, but more vivid and "alive" than any myology book you've seen before--and the illustrations of the muscle actions are all yoga poses! For both the student of muscle anatomy and the yoga practitioner searching for a deeper understanding of muscles, I highly recommend this beautiful book.
(Please see my review of "The Key Poses" for additional comments.)
