Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697 – 1770) was a German-born Dutch anatomist whose drawings are incredibly accurate even today. This anatomy book is a compilation of work from two books he wrote at that time, Tabulae Sceleti et Musculorum Corporis Humani (Tables of the Human Body) and Tabulae Ossium Humanorum (Table of the Human Bones).

The marvel of the human body revealed. A glorious, unparalleled view of the human body . . . Revolutionary computer images from the creator of From Conception to Birth reveal the wonders and complexities of every system in the male and female bodies.

Yoga is an integral part of the course and I explain in detail how and what the yoga practise means in relation to Chavutti Thirimal. A solid yoga practice is very important as it helps incorporate body awareness and body mechanics when practicing and training in Chavutti. It is imperative all students understand a range of grounding techniques utilising the breath and awareness of the spine. This will all be covered in the course but the following books will provide you with a solid foundation to start from.

Stress Free Yoga for Health, Vitality and Energy by Vanda Scaravelli. In this book Vanda helps to create a much more serious approach to our bodies which has been neglected by many for years. This approach includes many attitudes of the mind and body and is quite different from both the casual and rigid forms of yoga which have been widespread until now. Learning to live with your body rather than fighting against it. Avoid all effort and strain and centre your atttention on the ground, breath and the spine.
