This book is fantastic! Have both Vol I & II, and they are invaluable for anyone wanting to learn about yoga, being healthier, or any nursing or med, or physical therapy student.
The book shows which muscles are involved in each yoga move - the ones working, being stretched, or supporting the body weight. For anyone in medicine, this also breaks down movements into steps and illustrates why the patient is in pain with that movement. For anyone in physical therapy, is illustrates why you need to do that excerise & shows how it will help you.
As a student in a yoga teacher training class, this helps me learn how to do the poses correctly and which muscles are working with each pose and how to avoid stressing injuried body parts. Fantastic reading and a great resource!
 Not the best illustrated yoga book May 6, 2010

This book has very nice illustrations. But it focuses mainly on the muscles and bones involved in yoga rather then the poses themselves. If u are looking for a really great illustrated yoga book with poses and how to obtain them I recomend Hatha Yoga Illustrated.
