Review YOGA JOURNAL REVIEW ...Where the DVD really excels is in Keil's lectures on the foot, knee and hip. In these lectures, Keil presents fascinating information about the evolutionary adaptation, movement, and structure of these parts. Viewers delving into Keil's material should be sure to do so patiently and over time. To truly absorb all of the information he presents, play the DVD bit by bit, giving each lecture multiple viewings. --Yoga JournalThought the DVD was excellent, much better than trying to learn anatomy from a book. Especially enjoyed the parts of the body relating to Yoga postures. This DVD Can be referred to again and again. looking forward to vol 2. --Maxine P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Actor David Keil was first introduced to Yoga by his Tai Chi teacher in 1989. David has taught the YogAnatomy workshop over 80 times since 2000. As a former teacher of Kinesiology, he brings the kinesthetic experience of Yoga and the specificity of anatomy together to shed light on how to deepen ones experience on the mat. Through simple explanation and relevance to yoga practice he hopes to inspire people to practice intelligently as well as devotedly and with faith in the power and process of Yoga.

This should definitely be part of all teacher trainings. The explanation of how the body is put together is amazingly informative and easily understood. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great DVD *by Y***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2010* This is a great yoga anatomy DVD. I've been a yoga teacher for 10 years and this is the best yoga anatomy DVD yet (including the books that can be very complicated and boring). I never wrote a review, but this is like sharing good with others. David Keil is a natural at the camera, at being so simple at boring difficult subjects. I actually went to his web site to find out more...he only has two DVDs but I will be willing to buy any other that he might do.great buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meaninfull and in-depth, makes it interesting *by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2011* I watched both DVDs from David Keil over the weekend. The subject, anatomy, is dry unless you are into it, but David finds a way to make it meaningful from the perspective of a yoga practitioner and or aspiring or current teacher. He covers a huge amount of territory.I thought, looking at the cover, that it would have humor in it, but in reality the DVD is very serious and other than the occasional and rare joke (yes looks like the skeleton has his skull empty), it is a very focused and a valuable resource for practitioners that want to know more about what goes on inside the body.David points out that there is a lot of elements in anatomy, but, just like in yoga, it is important to gather them all together, they are not separate systems, they are all very interrelated, and throughout the lecture you get the sense of how each part connects with the other.I found the first DVD in the series valuable in the way of learning the basic terminology, i.e.: "distal and proximal" "lateral vs. medial" "rotation" etc. The explanation is clear. As well as some formulas he makes to remember some names (bone name + letter "O" + Joint name).I do not pretend that I have learned and I am now versed on all terms and nuances. Anatomy is a profound subject, but I feel I have a go to place, and I will probably watch it again, and again, when necessary.DVD II opens with the psoas, which is the "center of gravity that controls our center of movement, and that is why it gets to be included in what is known as "core" (psoas, abdominal muscles etc)".A large chapter talks about back pain and addresses disks herniation, then gives ideas on how to treat back pain on which he separates two specific lines of thoughts, those who think that to treat it:a) The abdominal muscles have to be strengthened, andb) those who think that the abdominal muscles need to be released.He believes that the releasing of the abdominal muscles may help those who sit for most of the day as the tissues will tend to shorten due to posture and the ribs and pubic bone become closer together (hunching, -my word-). Overall, of course he points you need to look at each individual,ala Krishnamacharya, to see what is happening in their organism before making any recommendations. It is a great talk.He then talks, among a few other chapters, about the diaphragm and has an exposition on similarities between the lower and upper body.I would say it is interesting to see anatomy in this form, meaning conversation rather than book, although I wish there were more drawings and animations, never the less as it stands the video is a pretty good resource to have around. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/101809669-yoganatomy-vol-1-an-introduction-to-anatomy-for-yoga-practitioners](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/101809669-yoganatomy-vol-1-an-introduction-to-anatomy-for-yoga-practitioners) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
