A thorough understanding of functional anatomy gives yoga teachers the ability to better serve their students by being able to identify areas of weakness or tension, and give instruction on which specific poses to use to build strength and flexibility.
This experiential learning course focuses on the 12 structural muscles that protect the spine and hold the skeleton in place. As structural muscles, they are fundamental to the integrity of the overall body and have a close relationship to the nervous system and functional movement. Yet, these key muscles are widely underused in our modern day living and underworked in most of our physical activity. By gaining a full understanding of functional anatomy you will be better placed to support your students, grow their practice and work with them to remedy issues.
