Yoga Anatomy and Therapeutics Training

Welcome to the North Carolina School of Yoga's Yoga Anatomy and Therapeutics Teacher Training Course. In this training, the complexities of an in-depth study of the Anatomy of Yoga are presented in an experiential, fun and easy to understand manner from the Yogic perspective.

Designed to expand the understanding of how Yoga affects the physical body and how the practices and techniques can be specifically applied for healing or relief for various injuries, conditions and diseases students will experience practical, applicable and useable tools and practices to take into the yoga classroom and during home practice. Students will learn specific therapeutic sequences for rotator cuff injuries, SI joint pain, hamstring tears, asthma, low, mid and upper back pain, TMJ dysfunction, carpal tunnel, sciatica, depression, anxiety, cancer, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, headaches, poor eyesight, cold and sinus issues and knee, foot and ankle issues.

Hatha yoga may be learned by practicing yoga postures and breath control without any knowledge of anatomy. However, in some cases, incorrect practice can aggravate a practitioner’s existing medical condition or it can actually create new ones. A practitioner who learns yoga without an understanding of anatomy and physiology may become very adept at understanding their own body, but may not be able to relate to the individual differences in other people’s bodies. This training is designed for teachers and students who wish to deepen their own practice but also grow in their capacity to help serve and aid others.
