‘The result of an obvious labour of love, Anatomy of Hatha Yoga explains hatha yoga in demystified, scientific terms while at the same time honouring its traditions. It should go a long way to helping yoga achieve the scientific recognition it deserves. Useful as both a textbook and reference, this work is a book that all serious yoga teachers and practitioners will want on their shelves. It will also be welcomed by sympathetic physicians – and there are more of us all the time – as well as physical therapists and other health professionals.’ - Timothy McCall, MD, author of Examining Your Doctor ‘Anatomy of Hatha Yoga will be the bible for yoga instructors and practitioners who are seeking in-depth knowledge explaining the anatomy and physiology of their discipline. It will be years, if ever, before anything comes close to surpassing it.’ - Michael J. Alter, author of Science of Flexibility and Sports Stretch ‘… this ranks as one of the most impressive book sot come our way in the last several years… Advanced students and yoga teachers will want Anatomy of Hatha Yoga as a desk reference and will find themselves consulting it repeatedly in the years ahead.’ - Phil Catalfo, Yoga Journal ‘Coulter uses anatomy to illuminate the structure and execution of the poses and, at the same time, brings the anatomy alive through the poses and selected exercises… if you are a yoga therapist or teacher, or a student who enjoys breaking down the poses and putting them back together again, then you will most definitely want a copy of this book to refer to over and over again.’ - Richard Rosen, International Journal of Yoga Therapy ‘Anatomy of Hatha Yoga by Dr David Coulter contains useful information not only for yoga instructors, but for anyone working with the musculoskeletal system – physical therapists, bodywork therapists, chiropractors, personal trainers, and massage therapists. I recommend it to everyone who does any kind of bodywork.’ - Ohashi, author of Do-It-Yourself Shiatsu, Reading the Body and The Ohashi Bodywork Book
