Build a solid foundation for your practice. We'll begin with an introduction to the language that describes anatomy and movement, teaching you how to "see" the structures that lie beneath the skin. Then we'll put that knowledge into practice with poses that illustrate fundamental principles of movement and alignment. Lecture and asana.

Protect yourself and your students from common injuries and strains. We'll discuss gravity's effects on the body and how certain positions put leverage and strenuous loads on the spine and other joints. Then we'll work on poses and teaching techniques so teachers can use proper body mechanics as they demonstrate and adjust students.
