These two DVDs will take you through your body like you've never experienced before. Together these DVDs offer WAY more information than any other Yoga Anatomy DVD on the market.
The Hallmark of David's teaching style is that you'll actually UNDERSTAND anatomy when you're done. Make your way through this DVD piece by piece over the course of a week and YOU will KNOW anatomy.
There is nothing like being guided through anatomy. Much easier to learn from a video with someone guiding you than learning from a book.
