Another spot of self-promotion -- this time, a longer write-up of Matthew Sanford's extraordinary Waking: A Passage Into Body, his memoir of discovering yoga (and becoming a yoga teacher) with paraplegia:

Linking in case it's of interest -- I just posted a short write up of Mark Singleton's controversial book Yoga Body: The Origins of Modern Posture Practice as one of my 3W4DW posts:

Yoga Body (thinky books about bodies, no.3)

A number of books have been very helpful in the development of my yoga practice. I just pulled some of them off of my yoga shelf and thought there may be some interest in mini-reviews of them. These are books that I love and that I would rec to students.

My mom has developed terrible arthritis in her shoulders, as well as debilitating limited mobility in one hip. Being the born-again yogini that I am, I picked up Yoga for Arthritis, by Loren Fishman, MD and Ellen Saltonstall, at the library.

This book has some really interesting stuff in it, even if you aren't so concerned about arthritis, and are more just interested in how the body works. I don't really have a review of the book, but in particular, I am fascinated by and wanted to share the explanation of how the shoulders work and how they can deteriorate.

From Cool Yoga Tricks, by Miriam Austin:

Very important:

I did this, and it immediately increased my twist in Ardha Matsyendrasana.

This is a very interesting book. Will review shortly.
