Learn and Color 50 Asanas
Standing Poses
Standing asanas condition the biggest and strongest muscles of the body. All of the standing postures in this section require both feet on the mat.
Balancing Postures
Balancing asanas can take many forms—standing on one foot, balancing on your hands or forearms, or balancing on your head and hands. Inversions are also included here.
Seated Asanas
This section includes seated forward bends, twists, and other asanas that are done on the mat. These postures tend to be thought of as tests of flexibility, but you're still going to use some muscle.
Backbends
Practicing asanas that emphasize spinal extension are part of a well-rounded yoga asana practice. They can be challenging, but there are some foundational backbends that almost anyone can do.
Study on the Go with Flash Cards
These perforated cards can be detached and used to study anatomy while traveling, test your anatomy knowledge, and create your own custom yoga sequences.
Color your way to yoga knowledge! By understanding your body and its anatomical structure, you can improve your practice, no matter your level. This follow-up to the bestselling Yoga Anatomy Coloring Book—written by yoga instructor, licensed massage therapist, and anatomy teacher Kelly Solloway—shows the proper engagement of muscles in dozens of fundamental and more advanced poses, or asanas. As practitioners color in the beautiful and detailed black-and-white drawings, they can clearly see the asana and relevant anatomy; each illustration includes a label to color and reinforce learning. Solloway explains how the muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments function together in each pose, and provides advice on working safely and effectively. Additional tips are sprinkled throughout, and 48 perforated flash cards enable readers to quiz themselves, study yoga anatomy on the go, and design custom sequences.
