Study The Human Body
The study of the human body in relation to yoga moves beyond muscles and bones, to a deeper level of understanding of ourselves. Gaining knowledge of anatomy informs how the body moves, how to move safely and how to keep the mind grounded in reality. As a result, you approach yoga poses from the inside out, rather than from the outside in. This training includes an anatomy manual, lecture, bio-feedback, and home-study workbook. Workbook completion is required for those seeking course credit.
This course will teach you:
the major muscles and bones of the body and their primary action and function
muscle action and function in asana
how to reduce the risk of injury to yourself and students
how to clearly instruct and cue your students
effective communication with therapists, doctors and other members of your yoga community
Additional covered content will include:
a closer look at the nervous system focusing on the Vagus Nerve and Yoga.
the different organ systems of the human body (endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, urinary)
Who is this training for?
This course is required for the Prairie Yoga Foundational 250-Hour Teacher Training. It is open to ALL teachers, teachers-in-training, and interested students.
