Take your practice to a deeper level with this hands-on experiential anatomy course, specifically designed for yoga teachers and serious practitioners of yoga. You will learn the anatomy and function of the major muscles and joints and how they are involved in yoga asana, and the impact of pranayama and meditation on the nervous system.
By closely examining yoga postures in your own body and other peoples bodies, you will develop a greater understanding of how the body functions. We will also discuss working with injuries during practice, including ideas for prevention and modification, plus the physiology behind injuries.
This training will also explore how how asana, pranayama and meditation can be used therapeutically to deepen and enhance your own yoga practice, plus that of your students for a greater holistic wellness.
