About the course:
This course is for any yoga teacher or experienced yogi wanting to know what is happening to the body while moving in yoga asanas. During the 2 days we will learn about musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology in order to feel the body from the inside out. If we follow the osteopathic principle, structure governs function, we realise that we need to look at our bones and joints to understand movement.

This course will help you find that balance between pushing your body too hard and not going far enough. It will refine your teaching skills, increase your confidence and give you more cues to assist your students.

* Daily morning yoga practice
* Learning and feeling the major bones and muscles used in yoga asanas
* Discovering what is happening to our muscles when we stretch or activate them
* Anatomy of the breath and pranayama
* Finding your own alignment
* Gaining more body awareness
* Visit to the University of Newcastle anatomy wet lab
