Yoga teachers and practitioners alike can hugely benefit from a solid understanding of the human body’s structure and function. In this workshop series, we will explore the functional anatomy of the major joints and muscles involved in yoga postures, with a particular focus on how they work together to create movement.Through a combination of lectures, hands-on adjustments, and visual aids, you will learn to identify the key anatomical features of the body and how they can affect yoga practice.
This 4-part workshop series is designed to help you deepen your knowledge of anatomy, lead your classes safely and effectively, and examine how common anatomical variations can impact the practice of yoga. You may attend individual workshops, or register for all four!
