This course is for yoga practitioners and teachers looking to deepen their understanding of the human body to improve safety, alignment, and functional movement. Focus is on applying anatomical understanding to poses to prevent injuries, customize instruction, and acknowledge individual skeletal differences.

Learn how to practice safe and effective yoga postures for each major area of your body: hands and feet, knees, hips, lumbar, core, and neck and shoulders

Better understand how to adapt and modify poses

Enjoy being guided through movement that allows for integrating knowledge of anatomy

Practice/guide yoga postures in a way that naturally incorporates anatomy in a practical way

Increase your ability to teach safely and sustainably to a variety of bodies

Hands and Feet…Your ability to touch, to hold onto, to and stand in your own foundation.

Knees...They bring you closer to the earth, and extend you to the sky.

Hips...Shake, rotate, open, fold, spin, extend, pound, walk, run, sit.

Lumbar...It’s the ‘west’ side of your body, without much attention, until it hurts.

Core...The days of the sit-ups are gone (woo hoo)! Your 360 support.

Neck and Shoulders...If it moves forward, and stays there, not so good. Yoga moves it back…ah…better.
