ANATOMY

The foundation of our yoga teacher training program is built upon our thoughtfully crafted practical anatomy classes. Unlike the majority of yoga teacher training schools around the globe, which often neglect the fundamentals of anatomy, we take immense pride in our proficiency in this domain. Our expertise shines through in the realm of functional anatomy education.

Our practical anatomy sessions are designed to foster a comprehensive comprehension of the pivotal muscles and bones implicated in asana practice, along with their inherent health benefits and limitations. Our approach centres on analytical training, delving into muscular and skeletal anatomy, and recognizing the individual variations and physical boundaries that define each practitioner. The scope of our anatomy module during the 300-hour advance yoga teacher training course encompasses the following:

• Foundational Concepts:

  • Skeletal system, muscular system, connective tissue, nervous system, and the intricate movements of the body’s major joints.

• Human physical anatomy and physiology (bodily systems, organs, etc.) and energy anatomy and physiology (chakras, nadis, etc). Includes the study of the anatomical subject and the application of its principles to yoga practice (benefits, contraindications, healthy patterns of movement, among others).

• Functional Anatomy:

  • A comprehensive exploration of functional anatomy and the physiological aspects intertwined with movement.

• Bridging Anatomy with Yoga Practice:

  • Application of anatomical principles to the practice of yoga.

  • Understanding the mechanics of yoga asanas.

  • Cultivating awareness of healthy movement patterns.

• Muscular and Skeletal Diversity:

  • A thorough examination of the interplay between compression, tension, proportion, and orientation theory within the context of individual muscular and skeletal differences.

• In-Depth Region Study:

  • Immersive study of distinct body regions, including the foot, knee, hips, spine, and shoulder.

• Understanding of yoga asanas from an anatomical perspective.

• Therapeutic applications of postures and working with injuries in asana class.

These anatomy classes constitute the backbone of our yoga teacher training course, reinforcing our commitment to equipping our trainees with a profound understanding of the human body’s intricacies, allowing them to guide their future students with a strong foundation in anatomy and alignment.
