"Short, deep muscles (e.g., those inserting on the vertebrae or foot bones) tend to be responsible for precise, small-scale adjustments rather than gross movements."

This book is from the required reading list for my yoga teacher training class. While I haven't read the entire book (we still haven't studied the forearm and the hand), I must say this book's drawings and attention to detail make it an excellent resource for those studying anatomy for dance or yoga.

This book might be more of a browser that I'll revisit from time to time. It's incredibly well laid-out, discussing each part of the body and the mechanics of its movement. Fascinating stuff these flesh sacks we walk around in all day.

I'm re-reading this in preparation for more Pilates training. Great book for those who want to know more about the anatomy of movement!

Great need-to-know guide. Use this when studying pilates and yoga. Excellent reference tool when used with a more traditional anatomy book.

I am using this book to research foot physiology. The illustrations are beautiful and easy to understand.
