Feb 25^th 3:00-5:30 pm at Euphoria

A lovely studio run with love by Corinne Gervais, with great teachers and classes!

The Head and Torso: The Movement of the Spine, Chest and Head in Yoga and in Life.

Different parts of the spine move differently. The position of the head affects the muscle tone of the body. The chest and ribs are able to move so much more than most of us think!

More Anatomy Workshops March 4 & 25!

This one is at Woodstock Yoga– formerly Bliss, on Deming Street. Now being run by Barbara Boris and Linda Lalita Winnick, this studio is offering a great lineup of classes and workshops. This is the anatomy training for their teacher training, but the public is welcome.

Dynamic Anatomy-

Part 1: Sunday March 4th 1:30-4:30pm, $40 students, $60 teachers for continuing ed credit

PArt 2: Sunday March 25th 1:30-4:30 pm, $40.00 students, $60 teachers for continuing ed credit

An exploration of how the skeleton, joints and muscles arrange themselves in different asanas. Along the way students will become familiar with basic principles of anatomy, kinesiology, and motor learning. We will spend some time discussing how the nervous system learns and organizes movement, how we can become stuck in habitual movement patterns, and how to help someone become unstuck.

ANATOMY OF ASANA WORKSHOP
with Christine Becker
October 2nd, 2011, 3:0-5:30 $35.00
@ Euphoria Yoga in Woodstock
REGISTER: info@euphoriayoga.org

I’m planning to teach the anatomy of the arms and legs through looking at them in a few different yoga postures. We’ll do the postures, look at them, then discuss what’s happening with the joints and muscles. Here are the postures I’m thinking of, (subject to change in the moment if something else seems more apropos):

Tadasana – Mountain Pose, Virabhadrasana I & II – Warrior I & II, Utthita Trikonasana – Extended Triangle, Plank Pose, Chaturanga Dandasana, Bakasana – Crow Pose, Adho Mukha Vrksasana – Handstand.

If all this is Greek to you (it’s really only Sanskrit), don’t worry. You needn’t be a yoga practitioner to participate, and you don’t have to do the asanas (postures). I’m just using the yoga as a starting place to look at the anatomy. I think it will be a fun and meaningful way to teach, and learn.
