From the Inside Out: Anatomical and Energetic Perspectives on Yoga Therapy
Instructor: Scott Blossom
Monday, September 21
2:30pm - 5:30pm: Healing Through Yoga: Session 1b

Western anatomy describes the body in terms of "parts," or "particles." By contrast, the spiritual and medical sciences of ancient India describe the anatomy as a condensed expression of a wavelike force called "prana." Both views are true representations of the same thing, but they have very different implications for how you do yoga. Join Scott for an experiential exploration of these ways of thinking. Mostly lecture with some practice.
