$25.00 Anatomy in Action 3 - 03/04/2023


Intended for all levels of yoga teachers and yoga therapists.

Need a quick yoga anatomy refresher? Want to brush up on what it means to “engage” specific muscles/muscle groups? Clarify a familiar instruction to ensure it produces the intended action? Better assess whether your students are actually “getting” what you’re teaching? Increase your toolbox with some easy pose/action adaptations when an intended action seems to be out of reach? Then come with your questions and let’s explore yoga anatomy in action together!

This will be a mini-workshop series of four workshops on action-oriented yoga anatomy. Each workshop will consist of a brief anatomy review of the areas being covered. 

Then the remainder of the workshop will be experiential, including doing the pose/action to understand it anatomically in your body, observing others doing the pose/action, assessing how to instruct to get the desired action in the pose, teaching the action, and understanding how to modify the pose if the action is inaccessible. 

Anatomy in Action 3 – Core, Upper Back and Upper Limbs – working with aligning from deeper abs, ribcage/thoracic spine, arms, and hands.

Includes a handout of poses/actions taught.

Hours count as CE units for yoga teachers registered with Yoga Alliance. This workshop will be hybrid. Participate in person (for those who are vaccinated) or attend live-stream via Zoom.
