What will you learn?

How to see beneath the skin. Spot common postural faults and correct them. How knowing the anatomy of your spine, shoulders, hips, arms and legs can ignite your yoga practice and give you the confidence to become your own best teacher. How to adjust students in poses. Common muscle imbalances – identify your own and learn to spot them in students. Why some poses elude you, and how to unravel them. A hint: muscle imbalances that keep you weak in some muscles while other muscles overcompensate and stiffen. The risks in common poses, and how you can make them safer for yourself and your students. Explore and experience some of your favorite and more challenging poses with a focus on optimal functioning of the shoulder complex.
