"Yoga is flooded with books on the anatomy of yoga. Having taught the
anatomy of yoga for many years, I now feel it can be a red herring
leading us down un-useful ways of thinking. There is a place for
anatomy, but largely to help explain why some movements are unhelpful,
or why some people can do certain poses and others not. What anatomy
cannot do is inform about how to move. To understand movement we have to
study movement and see how anatomy supports it, not the other way
round."
