is a comprehensive guide that depicts each yoga position in precise anatomical detail, helping the yoga enthusiast to understand how each muscle group is used within the specific pose. It is intended to help the student complete the moves accurately and safely in order to achieve the maximum effectiveness from their yoga workout, as well as understanding how each position targets specific muscle strength and flexibility.
Joanna Culley , lead artist at Medical-artist.com, began the project with a series of comprehensive briefs, which were used in the photo shoots held with a professional yoga instructor. It was imperative to both Joanna and the author that each pose was produced to the highest level of anatomical precision. After capturing the yoga positions on camera, Joanna sketched each of the poses in pencil in order to first be approved for their yoga and anatomical accuracy. The sketches were later developed into full-colour illustrations that supported the professional look and feel of the manual.
As a traditionally trained professional medical artist, Joanna is regularly commissioned for medical, scientific and anatomical illustrations across a wide range of mediums, such as watercolour, pencil and digital media. She previously completed 50 colour illustrations for the highly successful, part of the anatomical series of workout books that now includes
Medical-artist.com's professionalism and commitment to producing high-quality visual communications was acknowledged by Jacqui Sayers , Development Editor at QUID, who said, "Joanna and her team have been a pleasure to work with throughout this project, always highly professional, diligent, flexible and helpful. The artwork they have produced is outstanding and will be a key selling point of the book, helping us to deliver a unique and highly visual educational resource for all those interested in learning more about the practice of yoga, when the book is published in Spring 2016."
