Over the course of 5 weeks, you will learn:
-->A foundation of anatomical language, how it helps us to communicate with healthcare practitioners and other movement specialists, and how to use the basics to continue your deepening self-study.
-->Different types of tissues and joints joints and how they contribute and respond to movement.
-->Variations of normal - and how knowledge of these structural variances can guide choice of asana and alignment
-->How the nervous system creates and restricts movement and why that makes yoga an especially powerful tool to use in our quest for functional bodies and skillful movement.
