5.0 out of 5 stars A 20th century classic July 31 2008
By R Rosen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Mabel Todd's The Thinking Body is a must read for every serious Yoga student. It's the source book for what's called ideokinesis, a wonderful system of body-mind education based on the use of creative imagery. Much of what I learned in Yoga classes in my early years as a student I found echoed in Todd's book, which was written in the 1930s. It's not always easy to find a copy, and if you can get one for under $20, snap it up.

In a very simple and interesting way,
It allows to see the human body like an integral part of us.
How postures, physical development, connects with
our personalities, needs, strenghts and challenges.
Just brilliant.
