Yoga Anatomy DVD info


YogAnatomy Vol.1 and Vol.2 are now available! Together these two DVDs take you through the main structures and musculoskeletal systems of the body. You can see from the topic list below that no stone is left unturned. Together these two DVDs introduce you to anatomy in a way that no one has presented it before. The hallmark of David's teaching skill is to make things simple, clear and understandable. When you understand the information, you then have the ability to apply it to your teaching or your practice. The best part about these DVDs is that you have the ability to pause, stop, and rewind David as he presents the material. If you've wanted to understand anatomy these DVDs are for you! I received this email just last week: Hi David Your DVD is outstanding! After struggling to learn anatomy from books, this has cast the scales from my eyes. Finally, I think I get it.
