Every style of yoga is different, and each has the goal to safely open & warm the body to increase functionality, strength, and flexibility. But no matter what style you practice or teach, an understanding of functional anatomy is a necessary tool to be able to create sequences that are safe and feel great, and to teach in a way that fully supports your students.
In this workshop, Abby will weave together information from trainings across many different styles of yoga and modalities of bodywork, and over 15 years of experience as a yoga teacher and bodyworker. This workshop is open to yoga teachers and seasoned students - for anyone who wants to learn integral information on how the body moves - practical and useful information for any yogi, yogini, or instructor.
Participants will leave with the confidence & skills to apply your new knowledge to various styles of yoga.
In this workshop we'll discuss:
Functional Anatomy - important fascial, muscular, and skeletal anatomy and movement principles that will be directly applicable to your practice and teaching; how to safely warm & prepare the body for the deeper opening/movements of the body in yoga asanas; what anatomical principles to highlight in yoga.
Sequencing - how to apply knowledge of anatomy & movement to sequencing classes in a way that feels great and is safe; how to create sequences that promote spaciousness and depth.
Injury - what common injuries are seen in yoga and their contraindications; how to safely help a student (or yourself!) with an injury.
