Description

This is part 2 in the "Anatomy of Yoga" workshop series to cover the way that the practice of yoga interacts with the body systems - This is where we go beyond just the muscles and bones to understand the organ systems!  The information in this course is the basis for progressing your skills to become a more effective yoga teacher.

This course was designed for Yoga Teachers looking to deepen their understanding of body science. This course can also be utilized in your Yoga Teacher Training program (along with part 2 and 3)  to fill the required 30 hours of Anatomy and Physiology training. 

If you are already a yoga teacher- this is a great way to "fill in the gaps" if the Yoga Teacher Training you attended did not provide in depth information about the body.

I am am certified through both Yoga Alliance and the International Association of Yoga Therapists as a continuing education provider.  Continuing education credits (non-contact) can be earned through the completion of this course. Upon course completion you will get a certificate from Udemy that you can submit on the Yoga Alliance dashboard.

This course was recorded LIVE as it was delivered over Zoom- so you can hear the students asking questions in real time.  I utilize clear visuals in the form of slides that are provided as a downloadable PDF at the beginning of each section. I also utilize the Complete Anatomy App for detailed "virtual dissections" of the body. The best part is that you can work at your own pace and go back to review any information as needed...an essential part to fully absorbing the complex topic of anatomy.

The Topics Covered in Part 1 of the "Anatomy of Yoga" workshop series are: 

- How yoga interacts with the nervous system

- The structure of the Neuron - the building block of the Nervous System

- The Central and Peripheral Nervous system

- The Vagus Nerve and the Relaxation Response

- The spinal Nerves

- Sensory input- the Language of the nervous system

- The Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System

- How to activate the Relaxation Response

- Introduction to Polyvagal Theory

- The Sensory System and Sensory Diet Techniques

- The Respiratory System and how it interacts with Yoga

- The Core Muscles

- The Digestive System & how it interacts with Yoga

- The Cardiovascular System and how it interacts with Yoga

- The Lymphatic System and how it interacts with yoga

- The Immune System and how Yoga supports proper function

- The Urinary system and how yoga interacts with it

- The endocrine System and how it relates to the Subtle Body and Chakra System

- Psychology as it relates to the endocrine system

- Yoga Injury Prevention

- Utilizing Exercise Science to build resilience

- Alignment considerations in Yoga Safety

- Common Yoga Injuries and how to Prevent Them


These videos total over 10 hours of coursework and include 5 slide shows as detailed downloadable PDF resources. The remainder of coursework for the "Anatomy of Yoga" workshop series will be covered in the next segments of the course.

Each topic is discussed with a focus on how it relates directly to yoga practice.

The information is conveyed in a way that is applicable to what you do as a yoga teacher and how you can utilize this information to better meet the needs of your students.

Thank you for your interest in my course- I look forward to sharing my love of Yoga & Anatomy with you!

I hope you will join me on this journey to creating a generation of confident, well-educated & effective Yoga Teachers!

Laura is knowledgeable and thorough in her anatomy training. I feel so much more equipped to teach yoga safely and efficiently through the lens of anatomy and feel like it has been a missing link.

I've been teaching for 5 years and this was not only an excellent refresher course on anatomy, but Laura provided a very balanced curriculum that also rooted itself in yoga's traditions. I plan to take more courses from her in the future. The content was deep and rich and also delivered in a way that I was eager to absorb and I look forward to applying all of these gems in my future classes. Thank you so much!

This second module of Anatomy of yoga has been as interesting as the first. We definitely have a lot of information to digest but I love the way how through the journey all over the systems of our body we have an approach to these, their functions related to yoga and the impact that this practice has on our body., mind and emotions.

This is the course I have been looking for! Value for money is fantastic! I am a starting-out yoga teacher and felt my 200hr teacher training didn't cover enough anatomy and physiology for me to feel comfortable teaching. So I have been on the search for something else that is clear, informative, and relatable to yoga. Laura is all of that thank you so much.

I loved learning about all of the body systems! Laura does a great job of explaining the functions and how yoga relates to them. The Lymphatic System is now my favorite!

This course has been a very good match so far. I also took Anatomy of Yoga, Part 1, and learned so much. Laura Goellner is an excellent teacher. She is organized, a clear communicator, and in my opinion, has the right amount of material in these courses. There is enough challenge, and we have to study, but it isn't overwhelming. I'm looking forward to the rest of Part 2!

Eu aproveitei muito! Gostei muito das aulas e das referências bibliográficas recomendadas nesta parte.

Excellent as all Laura's courses are - I have done 3 now. She has a really great teaching style. This particular course covers really important topics that aren't well understood in the yoga community in general as we place so much emphasis on the musculoskeletal system. Definitely a worthwhile investment!
