Excellent book
I found the book to be very well written and very informative. It describes what parts of the anatomy are involved in different yoga asanas, and describes how poses should be performed to get the maximum physical benefit from the exercise. Some may find it a little too technical, but that was its intent--to be, as its title states, "a manual for students, teachers, and practitioners". It contains a lot of information (622 pages); it's hard to imagine how any yoga practitioner could not find something in the book to both improve their practice and to understand how the body is executing the poses. I have been practicing yoga for nearly a decade and a half with some excellent teachers, but everytime I open Coulter's book I find something to consider or an adjustment to make in my next practice.
Excellent resource, a must for the bookshelf
As a Myofascial Therapist and Yoga practitioner, I appreciate David Coulter's excellent blend of technical knowledge and his practical insights from years of being a yoga practitioner. If you are a yoga instructor, this book is a must for the book shelf. It is not a text that you read straight through, but yet an excellent reference for your practice and teaching career. You owe it to yourself and the safety of your students to read this book.
Text book of Yoga
Buy this book first for serious study of Yoga. Breath is the basic and this tells you how to and gives you all the ways to get it right. If your going to do Yoga over one year, this is what you need to have as you first book in your Yoga library. I have seen many articles lifted from this book that were published in periodicals with no attribution.
