50 Hour Embodied Yoga Anatomy
Dynamic, slow, education
March 21st - June 2nd, 2023
Our Container
Embodied Anatomy is a passionately designed program that supports curious minds towards more depth of embodiment. Created for both yoga guides and keen bean students, Embodied Anatomy bites off a big chunk of fascinating science and anatomy and chews and digests it slowly through experience and integration.
Yoga is a practice of slowing the mind so one can reconnect and remember the true essence inside. Tools such as asana postures are portals into this remembering and containers to hold the majesty of one's body, heart and mind. The first and best way to understand a pose is to feel it. However, a new layer and more potential can come to life when we look at each unique shape from a different lens, an anatomical point of view. This understanding benefits yoga guides who want to support their students into more depth and edges of curiosity.
Embodied Anatomy is a program that merges dualities to spark curiosity about how the body, heart, and mind reflect one another and how intimately each yoga posture influences the whole. To look at anatomy from a theoretical perspective or from simply looking at the physical body would be amiss to the great mysteries of the body. One must see that anatomy is just one piece of a bigger whole, and we hope the content of this program reflects that.
This course is a dynamic blend of live-streamed practices, on-demand lectures and in-person integration. The intention behind this is to ensure everyone is doing their asana practice with integrity and commitment, having the opportunity to slow down, digest dense lectures, and fully integrate in-person with others. The time investment for this course is approximately 3-4 hours a week. If this commitment doesn’t work for you, you can purchase the on demand course to do at your own pace.
