I was trying to find the posting that people suggested books that align with and stimulate RMAX. But since i couldn't find it . . .
I purchased a book for my girlfriend who is a yoga instructor. It's one of those books that i bought for myself but had sent to her . . . It's called "The Anatomy of Hatha Yoga". What i especially like about the book is that there is a thorough explanation of the anatomical parts and how they move during different yoga postures. The author is David Coulter.
I particularly like this book as a complement to my body-flow expression as it gives me a 'third person' or 'scientific' or 'objective' (pick one or two) analysis in addition to the subjective mechanoreception and propiroception (sp?) feel of the movements. Sure, he doesn't go through the kinetic chains and links, but he goes through what happens with each motion pretty thoroughly. In addition to that, he has a couple graphs on how these movements affect the inhalation/exhalation capacity before, during and after the movement (being breathed!). I like to know what's going on. And, I like to be able to describe what i'm doing.
And, i'm taking this as a paltry substitute, but ground for learning, for the CST classes that i just can never fit into my budget (argh :cry: /sigh).
