Teaching Yoga

Many yoga teachers take Anatomy Trains courses to better understand the anatomy of asana, the anatomy of fascial connection, and what's happening when myofascia is stretched.

The classes also teach yoga teachers how to better see the underlying patterns that prevent deep inhabiting of the poses, and how to adjust students in the poses.

Kinesis offers several courses for yoga teachers:
"Anatomy Trains and Asana"
"Breath, Banda, and Core Integration"
"Using the Arms as Legs - the Anatomy of Inversions"
"Bodyreading for Yoga Teachers"
"In-form-ing Touch - Creative touch and adjustments in yoga teaching"

Here's a teacher, a middling student, and a neophyte all doing the same pose - see the differences in the lines?
