About this Module
This module covers human anatomy & physiology in a way that is relevant for yoga teachers and yoga therapists. We study all the major systems of the body and their interrelationships, addressing common pathologies and disorders of these systems. We look at biomechanics and movement with an emphasis on maintaining healthy joints, bones, muscles and fascia. We address common complaints and injuries and contraindications for postures and practices. Aspects of myofascial, the nature of pain and pain drivers and research will all be addressed. The course is structured to enable students to learn via self-exploration, gaining knowledge and wisdom from listening, questioning and teaching to the group. The course is assessed with a practical quiz, digital exam, presentation during course hours, brief written assignment and contribution to class discussion.
