EBOOK YOUR BODY YOUR YOGA
The human body and the human experience of our body are complex, vast and
varied. It will never be possible to reduce the full range of variation and its
implications for our yoga practice into one book. But scientists have a
methodology for addressing vast questions: break them down into smaller bits.
Much is lost in such a reductionist approach to reality, but the process has its
merits, which is why it is so commonly applied. We will also use a reductionist
approach, beginning by segmenting our investigation into several volumes,
presented in a number of books. Book One, this book, consists of Volumes 1 and 2.
Volume 1: What Stops Me? will investigate the nature of our tissues and
how they contribute to a reduced range of motion.
Volume 2: The Lower Body will put what we learned in Volume 1 into the
specific context of our joints. We will investigate the major joint segments that
play a role in our yoga practice in the lower body (hips, knees, ankles and feet.)
Volumes 3 and 4 in the next book will continue to investigate the rest of the
body in the same manner as we do for the lower body: the axial body (from the
sacrum to the cervical spine) and the upper body (shoulders, arms, wrists and
hands.)
Volume 5 will look at the other aspects of human variation not yet
addressed: those of individual proportions of the body, and the reality of the
asymmetries that we all have. The frequency and consequences of these
asymmetries will be investigated, along with their implications for our yoga
practice.
