“Yoga Myths is a breath of intelligence and fresh air in a field that is expanding so quickly that tradition, compassionate inquiry, and real communication sometimes slip away. Judith Hanson Lasater reminds us that we can hold too tightly to a simplistic instruction that might work well in one context, but which can then cause injury and imbalance in other contexts. She carefully teaches us the anatomy, physiology, mechanics, and—most wonderfully—the beauty and joy of the practice of yoga itself.”—Richard Freeman, author of The Mirror of Yoga
“Why am I recommending this book? Simple. After my forty years of practice, Judith Hanson Lasater—who’s already taught me so much over the years—still surprises me with her knowledge about yoga in particular, and life in general. An instant classic from one of our most complete teachers.”—Richard Rosen, author of Yoga of Breath
“To all those ready to get serious about safety, longevity, and freedom in both their bodies and their yoga practices, look no further. Judith Hanson Lasater offers sound anatomical wisdom from her lifetime of practice and teaching. There is a wealth of essential, practical information to be savored in this book, one I will cherish for years to come.”—Amy Ippoliti, author of The Art and Business of Teaching Yoga
“This wise and detailed guidebook (accompanied by black-and-white photos) will help students and teachers alike to remember to listen to their bodies and practice yoga with awareness.”—Publishers Weekly
