Join Anatomy Trains author Tom Myers for a fascinating journey through your own body!
Tom will take us on a far-reaching tour of how we are held together, how we move and learn new moves, and how yoga can ‘shapeshift’ your bodily system from your daily movements down through your physiology to the epigenetic expression deep in your cells.
See how muscle, bone, and all the fascial structures are all ‘manufactured’ out of a few elements in the embryo, and are shaped into place by your progressive movements as a child.
This course will review the 12 Anatomy Trains myofascial meridians and how they stabilize and stretch during asana practice. Learn to ‘body read’ the postural and movement patterns in your students and clients, in standing, gait, and asana. What happens to the mind, muscle, and fascia in a slumped posture? Or in the ‘wide open, chest up’ posture you see often in yoga class?
The course includes time for your questions on common issues such as fasciitis, heel spurs, osteoporosis and other signs of aging, and how to handle difficult questions that require referral.
Yoga teachers, like it or not, are now on the front lines of health care. Come learn from Tom’s 45 years of experience in the field
