Yoga Biomechanics: Stretching Redefined
by Jules Mitchell · Handspring Publishing
A biomechanics text applying load, tissue adaptation, and stretch-tolerance research to posture-based movement practice. Readers will be able to evaluate common flexibility claims, judge when passive stretching is appropriate, and design practices around tissue loading rather than tradition. Serves the large share of learners who arrive at flexibility through yoga and stretching practice, and it is the rare book in that space that argues from load-and-adaptation science and explicitly retires myths (permanent tissue lengthening, 'safe' alignment rules, passive stretching as a cure-all). Bridges the research entries to real practice for a different audience than Laughlin's method book.
