Yoga Anatomy Articles
Arm balance postures ask us to balance our weight on our hands or arms. They can challenge our ideas of what is possible.
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.
