Yoga Anatomy Books of Value for Learning

I received an email today from a teacher asking for advice on good yoga anatomy books.

"Thank you so much for taking time to talk with us after class today and referring your website. You mentioned a few books on anatomy which might be of interest."

I wanted to share my recommendations with the Grace Yoga community:

Anatomy and Asana by Susi Hately Aldous
This one comprehensive manual describes anatomical concepts as they relate to yoga asanas. If there is just one book you should read on yoga and anatomy, this would be the one.

Scientific Keys Volume I: The Key Muscles of Hatha Yoga is a 244 page book with over 650 full color illustrations covering over thirty key muscles as applied to Hatha Yoga including biomechanics and information on the chakras.

Hope this helps. I invite readers of this blog to chime in with your thoughts.
