This 20hr Anatomy for Yoga intensive gives you an in-depth look at the major joints and muscles of the body, their functions and most importantly how they relate to a yoga practice. It is designed to create a solid foundation in anatomy for yoga teachers, especially those interested in therapeutics, to facilitate a more skillful approach to both practice and teaching.
