Spiral Bound: Integrated Anatomy For Yoga
Karen Kirkness
Handspring Publishing

Spiral Bound studies the physical expression of movement by examining the body’s anatomy and movement in terms of its spiral structure. Author Karen Kirkness, an artist and yoga anatomy investigator, weaves together threads of development to see how our morphological constraints arise in the earliest moments of life, and how this rotation lays the spiral groundwork for motion patterns that encompass all tissue. Brings together basic embryology with kinesiology to offer a practical movement guide called the Five Filaments, a must-read for anyone interested in movement.

Birdie Paradise
Blue Monday
£14.99
Birdie Paradise was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada, and is currently based in the UK. Sex, Drugs, and Yoga is her debut memoir, a powerful, visceral memoir of a life undone, but brought back from the brink. While a spiralling descent into anxiety, dependency, and abuse sets her up for self-destruction, practicing yoga offers her another path; an invitation to look inwards, to delve deeper than ever before. It’s more challenging than she thought possible – the stillness, the light. But it sure as hell is better than the dark. Yoga offered her the invitation to look inwards and begin to heal.
