In Anatomy of a Yogi Volume One we introduce you to You! With chapter titles like "I've got your back, Jack" on the glorious spine and "Oh the nerve" on the magnificent nervous system we try to disseminate what can be dense information into fun accessible bite size pieces (so to speak!). Meta, like in the words metaphysical or metacarpals, means beyond, and MetaAnatomy is the attempt to go beyond our often limited concepts of our own bodies.
