Video not working? Direct link Yoga Anatomy Visualization – Asana Study #1 

So I love anatomy and was very excited when I got my muscle leggings last summer. Anything that can help me see and visualize anatomical structures makes me super happy.

The idea for this has been percolating for the last 6 months or so. I had an idea for a short video that would allow a live visualization of muscles and connective tissue on a moving body however I never had the enough time to make it happen the way I imagined.

But I just couldn’t let it go.

At a practical level, when I set out to take some images, I was constrained by circumstances. The window on the space I’d scouted was going to close the next day so it had to be done. I had no tripod and the camera I borrowed had only enough space on the memory card for barely minutes of shooting. That would allow me to take one shot on the self-timer and with some luck I would a) not screw up and b) actually be in the frame. The not screwing up part was important because I also wasn’t about to do this sequence 10 times in a row. Besides, the camera battery was dying.

As with all creative endeavors, constraints can provide a point of departure.

Snowstorm Nemo gave me the time to edit the single take together.

This was experiment #1. Let me know what you think.
