Yogabody: Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Asana | Judith Hanson Lasater
10 posts | 3 read
In Yogabody, author Judith Hanson Lasater writes, "You cant fully understand the dynamic movement of asana without first understanding the basic structure of the human body." Drawing on almost forty years of experience as a yoga teacher and physical therapist, she focuses here on macroanatomy and kinesiology in relationship to asana.Organized into five partsthe locomotor system, the vertebral column, the lower extremity, the trunk, and the upper extremityYogabody takes you on a fantastic journey through the bones, joints, connective tissue, nerves, and muscles, revealing how these structures interact to create and express movement.Judith conveys her expert knowledge in clear, concise language that makes it easy to understand, to remember, and to integrate. For seasoned teachers, novice teachers, and those in training to teach, Yogabody will help you guide your students to move with more enjoyment and less difficulty. For yoga students, Yogabody will help you practice more confidently on your own. Packed with color anatomical drawings, black-and-white diagrammatic asana illustrations, and helpful charts, you will learn what your body is made of, how it is designed to move, and how to bring the knowledge of both to awaken to asana.

January and the year starts off with me packing up my belongings (aka hundreds of books) and moving everything to my boyfriend‘s. With that in mind my goal is to hike at least 3 times this month, get in 8 yoga workouts. As for reading, I‘m going to aim low due to the move and shoot for 10 books. #BFC2022

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Happy New Year and congratulations!!! Don‘t forget to send me your new address ❤️❤️ 2y
wanderinglynn Great goals! 🙌🏻 And good luck on the move. 2y

tracey38 @Reecaspieces thank you! I'm used to modified yoga anyway since my back surgery in 2011. Too bad for my wrist that my back really loves the downward dog pose! 4y

🏋🏻‍♀️ Go to the gym 3x a week.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Practice yoga 3x a week.
(Photo is my Experiential Anatomy Yoga homework.)
🍝 Eat a homemade meal 3x a week.
👂🏼 Go to therapy at least once in the six weeks.

I fell off Litsy during round 3, but I‘m back on the necessary meds now and I‘m ready to enjoy things again! Good luck team! 💪🏻

I didn't have a good picture for my #bfc update, so I tried to take a picture of me doing yoga last night with a timer and this is what happened. But it really was a pretty good half-pigeon pose!😂

I modified my goal this week to 30+ minutes of physical activity 4 days a week, because life gets in the way too easily. Zero books finished this week, but I'm in the middle of a bunch right now. 1/12 books read. #bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn

wanderinglynn That‘s an awesome photo! 😂 Way to go! 🙌🏻 5y
LoverofLit 😂😂😂 A+ for picture taking effort and for yoga! 5y
tracey38 Yay for yoga! I have been really wanting to get back into it myself. 5y

ferskner @tracey38 I'm super casual about it, but I want to get serious. Mobility and flexibility are big concerns to me recently (long story, but basically aging terrifies me), and I know I feel so awesome after a good session. 5y
tracey38 @ferskner I worked at a physical therapy clinic for a few years and loved it. Some of the PTs also were certified in yoga. They would teach classes at our clinic a couple nights a week. At the time I was working there, I had to have back surgery. Once I recovered enough, with the help of my PTs, I took their classes after work (free for me), and loved it, plus it really helped with everything! 5y

Trashcanman @C.Perone I was on a weekend getaway with @Stacy_31. It was awesome! I'm OK, better than I have been for quite sometime. I still don't have a. Microwave though. What's new with you? 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @Trashcanman Glad to hear that😊 I take it the new job is going well! .... Wait, the weekend get away wasn't in search of a microwave?!🤪 ... As official empty-nesters, the Mr and I are readying the house to go on the market, and trying to decide where to move😖 Which means very little reading time for me 🥺 5y

This is where I do yoga when I cannot get outside. Let me tell you! This is extremely distracting! I am constantly going. I need to read that! I need to hurry up and read that! #readerproblems.
