The Anatomy And Biomechanics Of A Sustainable Yoga Practice

What exactly is happening in your body as you settle in and move around in a particular asana? From the outside, you've re-created a unique “form” handed down from generation to generation by yogis. But what is taking place on the inside, in your joints, muscles, and soft tissues to not only produce, but to sustain the asana as well? Developing an intricate understanding of your anatomy and fluid biomechanics will not only inspire your yoga practice with new awareness, it will help keep you injury free on (and off) the mat. We will seek not to perfect the physical system, but rather learn how to compassionately respond to mechanical blocks and organic restrictions in our bodies.
