What are the Anatomy and Kinesiology principles behind the Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment?  In this training, we go in-depth into how and why the Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment™ work, from the perspective of the form and function of the human body.

In this training, we will:

• Learn all we need to know in order to teach and do a safe, yet powerful asana practice
• Study how the parts of the body work together in the practice of yoga postures
• Present the main movements possible in a human body, for example, flexion, extension, twisting, and asymmetrical poses (one leg forward and one back). With each main movement, we’ll discuss and practice these primary teaching skills:
  • Knowledge of the primary and secondary places of movement in these main classes of poses
  • Key observation points and verbal adjustments to get into a safe pose
  • Key actions to teach
  • Main precautions
• Explain the anatomy behind the main movements of the body and behind the UPAs by focusing on the anatomy of the major joints
• How to deal with some of the most common conditions we face in our practice

*** A training called “Therapeutic Applications of Anusara Yoga” will follow this one, in January – March 2023.  This course is a prerequisite for that one.
