2018, Notes on Anatomy & Physiology for Yoga Education

A bit more of western science in the context of yoga, to add to ones library, at least chapters 1-19, if interested.
Chapters of particular interest to current inquiries:
  • 4. Bones, Muscles, and Joints
Pages 18-20 was a good refresher on certain topics that may influence certain physical movement practices.
  • 9. Endocrine System
Of interest in the context of aspects of the Yellow Emperor’s Classic on internal medicine, but also the yoga concept of the three gunas.
Later chapters may be a bit too much for some.

 

Investigating further cultural and historical adaption in functional movement patterns in martial arts systems and styles.
The information on this site is useful data to incorporate into one’s current toolkit of analysis and exploration of martial anthropology and alchemy. It’s NOT an end in itself, but a channel of inquiry with useful elements.
It may not be useful alone for commercial martial businesses.

Interesting comparison of aspects certain Chinese Physical alchemy methods. The mention and analysis of 3 primary vessels and clearing was useful.
