I've been doing 'YouTube yoga' for over a decade and never really learned from a proper teacher. This book explains the poses as well as the anatomy of what you are doing. I find that interesting and helpful to my practice. This was a quick read and something I can reference in the future.

A focused, anatomy-centered exploration of yoga as a tool for structural alignment and physical maintenance. Rather than presenting yoga as a purely meditative discipline, it treats yoga as a biomechanical system — one that can be analyzed, refined, and applied with precision to improve posture and reduce strain.

A thorough and informative book aimed at yoga teachers or medical professionals. Textbook in style and a bit academic for the average person. There is really good information on posture, restorative poses, and how to execute everything safely. A well researched and helpful book.
