Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers, and Practitioners
I, too am enrolled in a teacher training program that requires this book. Not having any background in anatomy, I was looking forward to this book. . . . thinking because it would be related specifically to yoga, THIS book would help make anatomy interesting enough for me to actually learn something from the book. Unfortunately I was mistaken. Coulter writes as if you already know most of what he’s expounding. The anatomical illustrations of muscles,etc are not clear. Every now and then, I actually come across a paragraph or even a page that makes sense to me. Mostly, the book is written in such a dull manner that it puts me to sleep. I read, re-read, look at the illustrations. . . . yet, most of the time, I just give up trying to comprehend what he’s writing about & move on. When the training program is over, this book is out of my house. . . maybe on a bonfire as part of a ceremonial ritual.

The book is fine. I was angry about the poor delivery. First was “lost” in the mail. When you resent the book, the date given for the arrival was 4-5 days beyond. I didn’t receive it , kept questionning my doorman(part time) and found that the deliverer didn’t leave the book. or a message. Finally the post office traced it and I received it 10 after your statement of delivery.
Add to my account for the future: Leave with doorman or superintendent;if no one is home
Thank you. . . . . . . . Dr Myra fooden,

This book is a good resource, but is very technical. It is not a book I would just sit down and read cover to cover.
Rating: 3 / 5
The book was recommended to me by my yoga instructor as part of my certification as a yoga teacher. Personally I would give the book a five star rating because of its details and it’s excellent integration with yoga. However, my backround is nursing. I think anyone without a science backround may find it cumbersome.

Wow! Anatomy of Hatha Yoga is definitely a book for those who are interested in the anatomy of a human. This book is definitely more towards anatomy than it is Yoga. Don’t get me wrong it does discuss postures, breathing techniques, and how to deepen relaxation.
