Anatomy & Physiology – Yogic Context

Yoga followers have been increasing day by day.

Many schools of yoga have been conducting “Yoga teacher training course”, “Basic yoga foundation course” “Yoga certificate course” etc., in which they impart enough theoretical and practical knowledge to the students. Some are very much short term courses which raise the question whether the students get enough fundamental knowledge or not.

The basic theoretical knowledge can be divided into two groups-one is about the material of traditional texts and second is the interpretation of that material through scientific way. At gross level, the parameters of anatomy and physiology help to interpret scientifically. At subtle level, parameters of psychology and metaphysics help to interpret scientifically.

In this book

Anatomy & Physiology Book In English The parameters of anatomy and physiology are explained through easy way as much as possible. Both subjects have their own terminologies. So it is needed to understand the basic and very common words and concepts of both.

The description of anatomy and physiology is made easier by understanding it in the form of different systems. Inside the body, all these are interconnected and overlapped in each other. All influence each other. But for the purpose of understanding, first we should try to learn each system separately. Then we should learn how that system is related to other systems. Finally we should learn how the yoga influences all these systems.

Thus, the basic and applied knowledge of body systems in relation with yoga will definitely help to improve the scientific understanding of yoga for all yoga followers, teachers and experts also. They will learn how to choose suitable practices for themselves or for their students. Also the false claims, overuse, misuse of the practices will be avoided.

Now a days, many yoga courses have included basic and applied anatomy and physiology. This book is intended to help in learning all these courses. Through this book, the author aspires to make scientific base of Yoga teachers as firm as possible.
