Rational
The purpose of the course is to provide yogis — regardless of their current level of experience — with a stronger anatomical understanding from which to practice yoga. Students will be able to directly apply this course material while executing the postures during yoga class.
Course Aims and Outcomes
Get a glimpse of what’s happening beneath the surface. Grasping the inner-workings of the human body and ensuring the proper approach to the postures allows students to transform their yoga practice in ways they'd never imagined. A stronger understanding of the biomechanics of the body inspires students and instills enthusiasm to continually explore new possibilities.
Specific Learning Outcomes
There is absolutely no expectation for students to memorize complicated terminology.
By the end of the course, students will:
• acquire a more cohesive vocabulary for understanding the language used by their yoga teachers
• feel a greater sense of confidence when approaching yoga postures
• have gained a level of clarity well beyond what they currently grasp
• have the ability to intelligently articulate specific postural concepts with their yoga teachers before and after class
Format
The course is formatted primarily as a lecture including slides, diagrams, videos, models, and in-person human demonstration. A handout that outlines terms and definitions will be provided and further note-taking is encouraged. Employing an innovative story-telling approach, the course effectively condenses a dauntingly vast range of material in a dynamic and compelling manner.
