Sound Architecture: The Anatomy of a Yogi 

This weekend is designed for yoga teachers in need of a refresher course in the anatomy of movement and experienced students interested in learning the science behind their physical practice. A baseline knowledge of anatomy (names of bones, muscles, etc) is expected. We will look at foundational postures across all categories (standing, seated, backward & forward extension, lateral, inverted) with a keen eye on how the posture can best function as a method for greater physiological stability and mobility. Understandings of “alignment” are ever-changing in the yoga world and we will also discuss why that is. In addition to the discussions of the weekend, there will be a reading assignment sent out about a week prior.
