Hi question re: anatomy

[Guest guest]

Human anatomy is human anatomy, though there may be many different

ways to approach it. A medical student may have different interests

than a yoga student.

 

I think any serious yoga student or teacher should have a good atlas

of human anatomy. I recommend Clemente or Netters. More info on such

books here: http://www.ionet.net/~tslade/atlases.htm

 

Oriented a bit more towards yoga, I would highly recommend Anatomy of

Movement by Blandine Calais-Germain, and Anatomy of Hatha Yoga by H.

David Coulter. Also, with or without any interest in Rolfing or being

Rolfed, I recommend checking out Rolfing by Ida Rolf. More info on

these books at Amazon.com.

 

May be more ideas here:

Also depends what you mean by "yogic anatomy".

Energy meridians, chakras, etc, is a whole nother thing.

I don't claim to be expert on that, but a couple of excellent books

that may have some useful and practical info might be:

Yin Yoga by Paul Grilley and Moola Bandha - The Master Key.

Qigong is interesting to explore......

** From a physiological perspective, there is no difference. From

an esoteric one, there is quite a demarcation.

 

Chakras, bandhas, nadis, et all are part of 'yoga anatomy'.
