Yoga Anatomy Articles
We have divided anatomy into three main sections, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, and Torso.More specifically we talk about shoulders, foot, hip, hamstrings, psoas, and SI joint.
The yoga anatomy articles are organized into categories such as, Injuries, Postures, Your Questions, Yoga, Anatomy, Yoga Anatomy Research Project, and even Yoga Adjustments.
They are also broken down more specifically by muscles, bandhas, breathing, sit bone pain, shoulders, psoas, and knee pain.
