Anne made the study of anatomy accessible and understandable. I enjoyed all she had to share, as she was able to simplify some of the most challenging material we have in our yoga teacher training. In particular, I felt that the group exercises she had us do to determine what parts of our body had been affected by tasks, like shoveling snow, was helpful. These exercises helped me to critically think about what could be going on in someone’s body in regard to strained muscles and discomfort. We then discussed poses that could aid in healing these ailments.
I found that I actually enjoyed learning anatomy – and frankly realize how important it is to understand how the human body works. The poses we suggest as teachers and our approach to them could easily help or harm a student.
To learn more about anatomy – I would like to attend more of Anne and Stephanie’s classes, as they discuss the impact of our anatomy as they are teaching class. Since I have a personal interest, I will continue to read materials related to anatomy and yoga.
