Science of yoga

Ann Swanson

Did you know that yoga practice can help lower your blood pressure, decrease inflammation, and prevent age-related brain changes? Explore the physiology of 30 key yoga poses, in-depth and from every angle, and master each asana with confidence and control. Recent scientific research now backs up what were once anecdotal claims about the benefits of yoga to every system in the body. 'Science of Yoga' reveals the facts, with annotated artworks that show the mechanics, the angles, how your blood flow and respiration are affected, the key muscle and joint actions working below the surface of each pose, safe alignment, and much more.
