Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement, Second edition by Joanne Avison

"Brilliant Like reading the best well kept secrets about the human body freely, clearly and openly! This is a must read for all movement teachers, practitioners and all curious about the human body!" Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I am exuberant about this book. It is stunning in its depth, including an historical perspective of anatomy as well as clearly written exposition about the intricacies of human posture and movement. I especially like the exercises for practice that help to bring the text alive. I couldn't be more pleased with this articulate, readable anatomy and movement book. I predict it will become a sourcebook for yoga teachers and other health professionals for years to come." Judith Hanson, yoga teacher "From Anatomy to Architecture, from Biomechanical to Biomotional and from Classical to Connected "- speaks to all bodies, in all modalities; in a world seeking unity and connection more than ever. Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement was written partly as an appeal for Yoga Teachers to appreciate the depth and breadth of Yoga as a science, a movement practice and a philosophy that fundamentally espouses "wholeness" as the basis of living anatomy and form. Yoga calls for unifying who and how we are; and as teachers - how we can help our clients (who are all different) move better. Classical Anatomy (in the West) divides the body down into its component parts and traditionally (unchanged for 400 years) reduces its functionality to those parts; usually described in a 2D iconic forms and founded in lever-based mechanics. In the East, such reductionism was never espoused and Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement covers two huge bases to bridge the difference and upgrade understanding of Yoga, to 21st Century anatomy: The first is to recognise that the leading edge of Fascia Science changes all those reductionist views (anatomically and biomechanically). It is carefully explained in the first part of the book and shows how the New Science of Body Architecture actually makes perfect sense of yogic philosophy of union and wholeness. The second is to take this paradigm shift and apply it in practice, to the subtle understanding of the fascial architecture and how that helps us move better. Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement attempts to ask questions, find suitable research and make all this practical and applicable to teachers and practitioners of all types. (Indeed, it teaches "posture profiling" and creating Class Mandalas, to support this). It is a contemporary yoga teacher's bible. This book is for those who want to integrate scientific knowledge with practical application in yoga and movement disciplines, as well as yoga therapists and teacher, yoga instructors, bodyworkers, manual therapists, movement educators, anatomy and physiology students, somatic practitioners, fascia enthusiasts.
