10.5 CEUs for Yoga Alliance Teachers (course is listed on YA)
This course reviews the anatomy of the trunk, shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle and extremities. We review the directions of movement and the mechanics of stretching. Recorded videos cover the anatomy, origins and insertions and see the body with 3D imaging.
In-class time is reserved for application of anatomy in poses, discussion of modifications, common injuries and body changes with age, as well as the use of props to promote good alignment.
Students will be asked to create a sequence/class inspired by the course material.
There will be a free bonus class the sixth week for additional student questions and to discuss the students class sequence.
