Weekend Practicum Body, Breath, Movement & Mind Effective use in your Yoga Practice Friday- Sunday, 22-24 February
This series of workshops will help you build a solid understanding and foundation of anatomy and physiology as applied to hatha yoga (physical yoga) practices. The intelligent application of anatomy and physiology will positively enhance your yoga practice as well as other exercise forms, directly lead you to a safer, longer-lasting, and more effective practice and generally improve your ability to increase strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and inner wellbeing.
The first part of each session is a yoga workshop style interactive investigation of the applied anatomy and physiology of each subject where you will be shown techniques that can enhance your practice. This will be followed by a visually instructed yoga practice that directly applies the principles developed in the first part.
