What you will learn

In this section you will learn about the physiology of soft tissue and muscle

How muscles contract and relax in yoga

The different forms of stretching

The importance of balanced movement and strength

Description

If you have ever tried to study the muscles and found the information to be dry and tedious with little connection to what happens on the yoga mat- then you need this course! The study of muscle FUNCTION will transform the way that you understand movement and the way that you structure your yoga classes. The information in this course will make studying the muscles an interesting and engaging process.

This is the 2nd in a series of 3 courses that contain the Comprehensive Anatomy module that I teach in 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training.

This Course is also eligible for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Credits through the YACEP dashboard.

I am also a CEU provider for the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT)

_______________________

Upon Completion of this course you will be able to answer the following Questions:

What is a Yoga Teacher’s Scope of Practice?

What are the Connective Tissues of the Body?

What is Fascia?

What are the 3 types of muscles found in the Body?

What are muscles Made of?

How do muscles get Stronger?

What are the 5 Forms of Stretching?

What are the 3 types of Muscle Contraction?

What are the different forms of Range of Motion at the Joints?

How does Gravity impact Movement?

How do Muscles work together in groups?

Is tension in the body always a bad thing?

What is functional Movement?

What are the “Missing Pieces” of yoga practice?

How can I best support my students Motor Learning?

How does the study of Muscle Physiology prepare me to learn the names of the muscles?

_______________________________________________

Each topic is explored through an educational lecture that incorporates slides and video. The concepts that were covered in the lecture are then demonstrated in a practice video where you can follow along to feel these concepts in your own body.

One of the greatest benefits of studying Anatomy online is that you can go back and review the topics as many times as you like. This really helps to absorb the information and to become comfortable with this new language.

    I created this course because I love teaching Yoga + Anatomy and I want other yoga teachers to have a solid understanding of the body that guides the way they teach.  When we feel confident in our knowledge that shines through to our students!

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

Loved it, another great course from Laura. A lot of good content for those of us who want to get more into muscles. Unfortunately, I do not see the next course here yet, but looking forward to doing another one in the future. The last section seemed a bit slow, although good info and some good points. So overall very happy. Thanks!

I absolutely loved this course! It was so much that I had to take it in small chunks, but Laura's teaching style and helpful hints are wonderful and I know I am a better yoga teacher because of her classes. I look forward to taking all of her classes.

Nice foundation for learning the muscles and muscle actions. I am wondering where to find the next course. I have been able to apply the information on functional movement to a chair yoga class that I teach. Also to remind myself to balance my own practice with cross training.

I have already taken the other course and find that they are easy to follow even though about such complex systems . Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us .

The combination of the theory and experiencing it in the body makes so much sense! I'm enjoying this second part of foundations in anatomy even more than the first one and I will definitely recommend it to my fellow students at the teacher training!
