Instructor: Joanna Abbatt

This course will provide an introduction to the basic anatomical and physiological principles essential for yoga training and teaching to deepen our understanding of the harmonious ways the body functions anatomically.

We will also explore the body’s “energetic” anatomy from a yoga perspective and how the subtle body helps us better understand physical alignment in all areas of our lives.
