You want a quick read. At 720 pages with detailed anatomical artwork, this is a reference book you'll return to, not a one-sitting read.

About this book

Yoga affects multiple body systems, including joints, hormone response, digestion, and brain function. Science of Yoga explains these benefits and how to maximize your practice. Each asana is illustrated with artwork showing the underlying muscle and joint actions, safe alignment, and related anatomical details. This expanded edition includes therapeutic sequences designed to address common issues such as back pain, arthritis, and anxiety, with modifications that can be performed in a chair. The book also covers breathwork, demonstrating how proper breathing enhances yoga performance and serves as a practical coping tool for daily life.
