AnatomySense: Helping Yogis Make Sense of Anatomy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781658780094)

Yoga Teachers are now at the forefront of healthcare. Students may come to you first to discuss ailments in their body-mind, and its serves you and them both to have an understanding of Anatomy and Physiology. With this trusted position, comes a greater responsibility for understanding functional anatomy as it pertains to the yoga practice and how that relates to movement patterns off the mat. Anatomical terms are a common language shared across healthcare professionals. Being able to identify body structures (bones, muscles, nerves, etc.) allows you, the teacher, to not only communicate with other healthcare providers, but to communicate intelligently and specifically with your students. The yoga class is a place where people cultivate a clearer relationship with their bodies and you can help them in this process by orienting them to the physical structures - teaching them how they are interconnected and activated through the yoga practice. Although this manual is oriented primarily towards yoga instructors and practitioners, it is not just about functional anatomy as it relates to yoga asana; it is about living and feeling with greater awareness. I'll breakdown concepts for a simpler understanding of how the parts are interwoven with the whole. You'll learn practical ways to weave anatomical concepts into your life on and off the mat. Through this process we will make AnatomySense. Welcome to AnatomySense.
