Thoughtfully written, accurate

Dr. Robin's prose is a pleasure to digest. Having attended his yoga class in Maplewood, NJ, in a packed auditorium of people from all walks of life (I myself was a student of engineering), I can say that this book crystallizes much of the hard work that Dr. Melvin B. Robin has done over the years in this burgeoning science. A poet of the mind, a pioneer of the body, and himself a former gymnast, his modesty understates his pure love love of humanity, and I thoroughly recommend anyone, to give a gentle listen to the words of a truly good man. The figures in the text are painstakingly composed, and are in themselves a treasure. I owe Dr. Robin my health, if not my sanity. He has a heart of gold that radiates outward from this book; let the rays irradiate regions far and wide with this book, as his work already has done. Catch these polychromatic rays one in this book and hear the symphony created by a capable man.

A Physiological Handbook for Teachers of Yogasana

This is a well written book for yoga teachers who want to learn more about the human body and how it works. The author chose to make many of the descriptions of anatomy or physical functions relevant to specific yoga asanas (poses) to help illustrate the point and increase understanding. It's not a book to read front to back like a novel. Rather, it's best use is to find and understand specific body functions and how they relate to yoga.

Awesome

I was taught by Mel at Studio Yoga. He is the best Yoga teacher I have had to date! His book is as great as his teaching. If you want a clear precise view on Yoga buy this book. He will teach you right and how not to get hurt.
