MetaAnatomy

Meta means beyond - and in MetaAnatomy, celebrated yoga teacher Kristin Leal takes us far beyond our limited understanding of our amazing human bodies. In this information-rich and accessible resource, youll do more than label parts of your anatomy and identify your energy systems. Youll develop a new level of body literacy - a deep and vital relationship with the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of your being. MetaAnatomy begins in Part 1 with a practical guide for your major muscles, bones, and joints. In Part 2, youll take a deep dive into your breath and nervous systems, and discover ancient yogic technologies to enhance your health and expand your awareness of subtle energy. And in Part 3, youll put it all together - combining the philosophical, energetic, and physical to make lasting changes to your health, your spiritual practice, and your connection with the world around you. Each section includes accessible mini-practices, meditations, insights for students and teachers of yoga, and much more. Leal writes in an engaging, lighthearted style that makes complex concepts imminently understandable. You are a symphony of synapse and strength; valves and vulnerability; potential, power, and promise, she teaches. It is my hope that these teachings and practices will ultimately lead you to remember and honour your fundamental wholeness.
