AND MOVEMENT FOUNDATIONS
with Tra
Kirkpatrick
June
26-28, 2020
Friday Evening, 6-9pm
Saturday & Sunday, 8am-6pm
20 CEUs
This is a required course in the Discovery Yoga
500-hour
Master Yoga
Teacher
Certification
Program.
The course is open
to experienced
students as well
as teachers.
Transform your own personal
practice and improve your ability to
“read” your student’s practice as
you learn how to integrate the
knowledge of anatomy into yoga
asana. Learning
anatomy has the capacity to deepen
your experience of each posture and
to learn how to get the most optimal
stretch or engagement of your body. This workshop
will also leave you with an improved
ability to help your students deepen
their experience of each posture. This is an
experiential course where we explore
the major muscles and how they
relate to yoga practice. Through
observation, hands-on exercises, and
practice of specific asanas, you
will learn the location and function
of the key anatomical regions of the
body and understand how they relate
to asana, as well as how asana can
in turn affect the body. By
employing these techniques, you will
become proficient at understanding
and identifying imbalances in your
practice as well as your students'
practice. Common stresses and
injuries for each part of the body
will be addressed. You will learn
how to apply asana therapeutically
for specific injuries, as well as
modifications (providing appropriate
hands-on support and protection) to
maximize the healing and
strengthening that is possible from
the practice of yoga.
The impact of pranayama and
meditation on the nervous system
will also be addressed.
Each day
consists of exercises to experience
the anatomy as well as posture flows
to incorporate the information.
