How Are We Designed To Move? With Sarah Ramsden

Join Sarah for Part 1 of the seriously useful The Body Basics – Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers

How do we know if someone is moving well into an asana or making harmful compensations?

How Are We Designed To Move?

This fantastic introductory workshop gives you a solid foundation in the anatomy of movement. Forget lists of muscles and attachments – think of real bodies using real muscles to make real movement and real asana.

The workshop guides you through the basic language we use to describe movement and the movements available to a human body. We’ll apply this to asana and how you can make informed choices about what you are instructing in different asana. We’ll look at how we are designed to move and how you know if someone is moving well, or moving with compensations. This will be practical, lots of hands-on, loads of discussion and Q&A, and lots of fun.

Learning Outcomes:

• Learn to observe and put into words what is happening to your body and the bodies of your students in asana
• Learn to observe and put into words movement dysfunctions and compensations happening to your body and the bodies of your students.
• Learn to make informed choices about different alignment possibilities in asana and why that might help your students (or why it might not!).
