Bandha Bandha!

Illustration from Bandha Yoga. Click the image to learn more about these awesome books!

If you're following the blog, you've seen my latest posts about these awesome Bandha Yoga books. Check out this awesome illustration indicating the way yoga helps you find great alignment and balanced energy in your chakras. Pretty beautiful, huh?

If you click on the image above or the ones below, you can learn more about the books and even place an order for one of your own.


I spent a couple hours browsing through pages and reading about how my muscles work together during different postures. I was amazed at how much there is to learn beyond the experience of the yoga! Even after we've felt our bodies in the postures, or heard from instructors about the best and safest way to do Triangle or Eagle, we still have lots we can learn from these books. Check 'em out!


PS I'll be bringing my copy over to Bikram Yoga Evanston soon, so if you're local, keep your eyes peeled for a copy sitting with all of Stu's other yoga books in the lobby. Enjoy!

Bandha Yoga Books: Science + Yoga

I'll be reviewing this book soon! Image copyright © 2005, 2006 Raymond A. Long MD.

You practice yoga, but how much do you know about the science behind your body's movement throughout the postures?

I recently discovered Bandha Yoga (www.BandhaYoga.com), an awesome resource that can help any yogi understand the anatomy behind the practice of yoga.

Ever wondered why you're having trouble with tight hamstrings or hips? Pain in the soles of your feet? Increasing your lung capacity during breathing exercises?

Bandha Yoga's incredible (and incredibly thorough) website and books can show you the reason for these common struggles, as well as provide anatomical information on musculature and bone structure to help explain why you're experiencing them.

The site (www.BandhaYoga.com) and line of books are incredible. I highly recommend a visit to the site to explore. You can check out anatomical photos of different postures, browse through the books, and even download images to help your own practice.

Bonus: I'll be reviewing the book on Vinyasa Flow and Standing Poses in a couple of weeks. You won't want to miss that post!


In the meantime, check out Scientific Keys Vol 1 - The Key Muscles of Hatha Yoga. This will help you whether you practice Bikram or a different version of Hatha Yoga. Totally fascinating!

The skeleton guys are a bit creepy at first, but the science behind them is eye-opening!
