With beautiful illustrations and photographs, reflective questions, suggestions for applications to everyday life, and with an emphasis on mindful practices, the book is lucid and accessible." -- Karen Kohn Bradley, Certified Movement Analyst, School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies, University of Maryland
Functional Awareness and Yoga is by far the best resource for yoga teacher training. Finally there is a book that is clear and concise making anatomy and physiology accessible to all yogis through comprehensive and fluid teachings." -- Ossi Raveh RYT, author, and founder of Brooklyn Yoga Project
