Functional Anatomy & Physiology for Yoga Instructors

This 20 hour online course section will supplement your 10-hours of in-person Human Anatomy & Physiology instruction, which will be introduced throughout your Rogue Awakening 200YTT. Here, you will be provided with terminology and testing sections designed to compliment what we will be learning in the classroom and studio. This course will introduce you to human anatomy and physiology with a focus on its relevance to yoga practice and teaching. You will learn about major bones, types of joints, muscle contractions, and key muscles involved in common yoga asanas, utilizing both lecture and hands-on approaches. We'll explore how physiology helps us to understand the inner workings of our complex bodies. We’ll build a foundation of anatomical knowledge designed to enhance both personal practice and the ability to guide students safely and effectively. Ultimately, the goal is to have you walk away with a solid understanding of the human body, blending theory with relevant, practical application to enhance your ability to teach safely and effectively!
