I loved this book. I read it the summer before I took an intense biology course and it really helped me to understand the material. I still have it 4 years later!

Brilliant guide to the body in movement. Provides lots of insight into the mechanics of the postures. You'll never think about your body in the same way again. A must for teachers.
