Structure and Spirit

by Karen Fabian

The study of anatomy as it pertains to yoga can give us valuable information about the structure of each pose as well as how to understand what’s happening under the skin with the bones, joints and muscles. But yoga is an expression of one’s individuality as well as creativity, heart and soul. With that in mind, Yoga Teacher and Author Karen Fabian has written a book exploring key anatomical themes as well as themes of spirit and personal development. Anatomical themes like Extension, Flexion and Rotation are explored and pictures and descriptions given for each as well as their contribution to a yoga practice. Spiritual themes including Connection, Commitment and Expression are explored and Karen looks to colleagues in the industry to share their experiences as well as shares her own. The book is filled with journaling exercises as well so as to help the reader apply these concepts to his or her own life. Karen has written other books on anatomy as well, including the “Bare Bones Yoga Guide to Anatomy” sold on her website and “Key Aspects of Anatomy for Yoga Teachers,” available on Amazon. Her first book, “Stretched, Build Your Yoga Business, Grow Your Teaching Techniques,” is a breakdown of key business steps all geared to helping you build a business as a yoga teacher.

Karen is a great yoga teacher and friend, so I was excited to read her latest book. She strikes a nice balance between logic and emotion, deftly moving from anatomy lesson to heartfelt personal story. It may be geared toward yoga teachers (which I am not), but is full of practical info and tips that I will take to the mat. Valuable lessons and insights for students of yoga...and life!
