I'm not trying to be an anatomy expert,
Is there a friendly anatomy book that's perfect for yogis?

Anatomy is the study of the shape and structure of the elements that make up our body.
And yoga is an activity that governs the body and mind through physical and mental practice, and the physical aspect of yoga is to stimulate and stretch the bones and muscles and train the body.
At this point, anatomy and yoga are inseparable.
Knowing anatomy will help you perform asanas (movements) more accurately, maximizing the effectiveness of your workouts and preventing injuries.


But despite the growing number of yoga enthusiasts, anatomy remains largely unknown to the general public.
“I’ve studied for over 10 years and read countless anatomy books, but I always felt disappointed with the difficult or insufficient explanations,” says Haeri Lee, CEO of Routine Online, a yoga instructor with 15 years of experience and the planner of this book.
My doubts about existing anatomy books, which were full of unfamiliar terms and simple lists of knowledge that did not take the reader into consideration, developed into the decision, "If it's going to be like this, I'll just make an anatomy book that's easy and friendly!"

For those of you who love yoga but find anatomy difficult!

A New Guide to Yoga Anatomy

This book is a guide to yoga anatomy written by 21 experts.
Professionals who have felt similar pain with existing anatomy have gathered together to complete basic anatomy knowledge based on their past curiosity and cases.
We boldly removed content that was unnecessarily difficult or unrelated to yoga classes, and focused on conveying the essential knowledge that every yogi must know in the easiest and most user-friendly way possible.
The writing team, 'Routine Online', is an online education platform for yoga instructors.
We provide high-quality education launched through the planning and participation of instructors, and we cultivate skilled yoga instructors through collaborations with various brands.


This book is divided into six major parts. Part 1 covers the fundamental concepts essential for studying anatomy, including anatomical posture, planes and axes of the human body, and terminology related to bones, joints, and muscles. Parts 2-4 systematically explain the skeleton and muscles that make up our body.
Divided broadly into upper limbs, spine, and lower limbs, it presents the structure and function of each area, and introduces the movement principles of the large and small muscles that make up each area, the types of problems and pain, and helpful asanas and exercise methods. Part 5 covers the ideal body type, body type analysis methods, and common musculoskeletal disorders. Part 6 guides you through the basic and advanced movements of a total of 38 asanas, as well as the causes and treatment of pain.


'I do yoga, but how much do I really know about yoga and my body?' This is a question that every yogi has probably asked themselves at least once.
If you love yoga but still find anatomy overwhelming, put your fears aside and open this book.
From practitioners seeking to explore their bodies more deeply to teachers preparing high-quality classes, the world's easiest and most accessible guide to yoga anatomy will help you discover a deeper and broader world of yoga you never knew existed.
