Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers, and Practitioners
H. David Coulter, Timothy McCall

It was written and edited to meet the needs of a general audience largely unschooled in the biomechanical sciences, and yet to attract and challenge the interests of the medical profession. This book features 230 black and white photographs and more than 120 diagrams and anatomical illustrations.
