Harshly judging one's range of motion is one of the greatest sources of unnecessary suffering in many people’s yoga practice. The poses in yoga are intended to be a method to move the regenerative and healing life force. To do that effectively in yoga, we must understand each of our own (or our students) unique structures and explore when we can move more deeply into a posture or when to acknowledge limitations with respect.
Although some restrictions in range of motion are related to tight muscles, and more are related to contracted fascia and ligaments, many significant limitations are actually due to variations in bone shapes and joint orientations that can differ dramatically from one person to the next. Understanding YOUR yoga anatomy is best learned through direct hands-on experience - testing your bones/joints and witnessing them curiously and compassionately to the bones of others.
This functional, comparative anatomy workshop explores the 14 major joint segments of the body that account for most of our yoga postures. For each joint intersection, we will perform bone analysis and range of motion tests on ourselves, compare with each other, and demonstrate how each varying joints will express itself in specific yoga postures.
Anatomy is a vast subject, but this interactive workshop reveals the basics in a way that clarifies and simplifies the yoga practice - putting the attention back where it belongs - how the key action of each pose makes you FEEL and moves the life force. In this workshop, participants often experience an “ah-ha” moment about their body and their practice, which can be powerfully liberating and self-accepting.
