It is incumbent upon yoga teachers to have a solid understanding of anatomy. It helps us design sequences that are safe, efficient and effective, sharpens our observation and cueing skills so we can take our students beyond just the “outer shape” of asana and towards deeper and transformational levels. When we understand the “whys” of cues, we can give our students the tools they need to become aware and empowered to find the “a-ha” moment themselves.
We have a new feature that we hope makes navigation to our supplementary videos that’s located under the title of the Course. Next to Course, you’ll see a Materials button that contains our huge library of archived videos from our monthly intensives, weekly discussions and live streams. All of these are supplemental to the pdfs & quizzes here but they provide you not only with more training hours but also deeper understanding. Use this handout EMBODIED ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY and the diagram in the materials section, to clarify the link between subtle anatomy (chakra system) & functional anatomy (western).
