As the Chinese proverb states, when you cannot reach an important goal, keep the goal but change your strategy. Yoga poses, like goals, can sometimes be difficult to achieve. What are your options when you cannot attain a posture? You can give up on progressing in the pose or you can change your approach to attain it. Changing strategies requires resourcefulness. Draw on this to break through blockages and safely attain the asanas. The Mat Companion series provides you with these resources in the form of scientific techniques.
Suppose you have tried all of the conventional means to bring your thighs to the floor in Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose). You’ve tried pressing the knees down or placed weights on the legs and still you haven’t progressed. Continued attempts will likely yield little in the way of results. So you decide to change your strategy. You can apply facilitated stretching to lengthen the muscles that are preventing you from going deeper into the pose. In the process, not only will you be able to bring the thighs closer to the floor, but you will also stimulate the nerve receptors in the pelvic region. This will illuminate the first and second chakras and aid to open energetic blockages. In addition, practicing in this way brings a better understanding of the asymmetries in your body. This understanding will carry over into other poses, expanding your overall yoga experience.
Perhaps you have lower back strain in a forward bend. The temptation might be to give up on the pose. Instead, try engaging the abdominals to create reciprocal inhibition of the stretching back muscles. Contracting the abdominals also elicits the abdominal “air bag” effect and supports the lumbar spine. This change in strategy is simple to apply and often works. These are examples of how to combine your knowledge of Western science with the wisdom of Hatha Yoga.
In many ways, practicing yoga is like the work of a native rainmaker who performs a ceremony to release atmospheric tension. Yoga releases physical and spiritual tension. Be resourceful and strategic as you make rain, both as a practitioner and as a teacher.

Anatomy for Hip Openers and Forward Bends Yoga Mat Companion 2 edition by Ray Long MD FRCSC Chris Macivor Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
I love all of Ray Long’s yoga guides. My only gripe is that this book was damaged-the front cover and first several pages were bent.
I'm using this book to learn yoga properly, in conjunction with a course. I haven't got the whole series yet, but I intend to buy them, so impressed am I with the clear explanations helped on by clear drawings.
If you're like me and need to know more than 'just do it because it'll help', this series of books are for you. I have to know the 'why' of something. Ray Long provides me with the 'behind the skin' knowledge - thank you Dr Long
Great book that teaches the reader a lot about all of the mechanics involved in hip opening poses. Helped me plan my sequence for my 200hr training final.
I am certainly not a yogi. However, I have enjoyed practicing yoga for years on my own through reading books, doing videos, and a few classes. What I felt I was lacking was the science behind a pose and how to advance through the pose to a more challenging one. Yes, I was "stuck"! This series (quite affordable in the kindle version which I stream from my iPad to my large TV during practice) has literally opened the world of yoga. The explanations on muscle opposition is the key to deepening the pose without harming yourself. I am waking up without muscle soreness after pushing myself through a pose. For once, a doctor has written a book combing his passion and professionalism to educated the rest of us! No matter your level of experience, everyone can benefit from the fabulous illustrations and technical explanations! By far my best Yoga book purchase yet!
I love this whole series. The illustrations are perfect - detailed enough that you can really tell what you're looking at but not overwhelming. I have a weekly yoga session with a couple of friends and we've been picking one pose a week to work through, using all the instructions. Sometimes all we can do is stare at the illustration, imagine where the muscle is on our bodies, and work on the intention to flex or extend it. But over weeks of working with it, we're all finding movement where there was none before. I'm also thrilled with how much anatomy I'm absorbing through the pose illustrations and instructions.
this series of books is the best detailed info i've seen on the postures. There are 3 ways I understand poses here. Names are given for each muscle that either stretches or flexes, also pictures of said muscles in different hues of blue and red to show where intensity is, also the joints involed and the direction the muscles move the ligements. While it could be overwhelming for some there is a lot of growing room and so many details to continue to work towards better posture. Even the sugested vinyasa flow has some weight to how to order poses and it gives reference to the chakras. But what I really like is how scientific it seems. It even gives several variations that can be used for injuries or preparation for each pose. What I really like is how it details how to use reciprocal inhibition and the golgi tendon to go deaper into poses- which I might call a simple shift of awareness to push into the pain without getting hurt. As well as a heap of detail about creating bandhas via co-activation for stabelization. One thing I dont see is much detail to get into the individual poses. But you can get that from a number of other good books. Once you're in the basic pose this book will provide much detail to continue to explore, play and increase awareness and form. The 4 books in the series have minimal overlap and the portions that do use different poses for the examples. Definately check these out!
This set of books is wonderful. The art work is detailed and abundant. These go beyond the typical reference book about yoga.
