This course will deepen your understanding and
knowledge of the
function and location of the muscles and joints of the body. You will
learn evaluation techniques for the strength and length of each muscle
and joint. This evaluation will be taught in two ways. First you will
learn to evaluate each part separately. Then you will learn a more
functional, integrated approach to evaluation. Through learning to
“read” the student's body you will learn the tools to find imbalances
as you watch their ability to move through asana practice. This ability
to “read” the practice will give you a more functional understanding of
what is going on in their body and how certain imbalances may lead to
pain and dysfunction. The development of a personalized plan of care
and personalized asana practice for your student based on this
evaluation will be taught. After this course, you will be able to help
students with musculoskeletal dysfunctions (for example: back pain,
neck pain, arthritis, tendonitis) by finding their imbalances and help
ing them to find a yoga practice to restore balance as well as modify
asanas as needed.
Prerequisite: Functional
Anatomy and Therapeutic Yoga or permission of the instructor.
