The Anatomy of Yoga with Audrey Tan

You’ve heard your teacher mention parts of your body a million times: your shoulder blades, your quadriceps, your metatarsals, your triceps. But, can you really truly feel these bones and muscles and how they interact to perform motions and actions in the yoga asana? This workshop will help you to experience your body and the yoga asana in a whole new way and understand the importance of alignment through the muscular-skeletal system.

Anatomy of Yoga: Joints & Planes of Movement plus the Trunk, Spine, and Pelvis

This workshop is the first in a two-part series teaching applied, experiential anatomy in the context of our yoga practice.

These workshops are appropriate for the eager student, aspiring yoga teachers and current yoga professionals. you will get the most out of the program by attending all sessions but drop- ins are allowed.

Anatomy of Yoga: The Arms & Legs

In this workshop we will focus on the joints and movements of the joints of the arms and legs in more detail. We will investigate the lower extremities – hips, knees, ankles and feet, and the upper extremities – shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands. We will also review common problems encountered in these areas while doing yoga asana, and learn anatomically-friendly modifications.
