Foundations in Yoga Anatomy:2 Muscle Physiology and Function
What you’ll learn
-
In this section you will learn about the physiology of soft tissue and muscle
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.

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!

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.
