Anatomy of Yoga
For Yoga Teachers, Health-Care
Practitioners, Teacher Trainers
The growing recognition of the
health benefits of Yoga has
fueled a boom in the numbers of
people coming to classes to
enhance their health and
Well-being. Many students take
Yoga classes to help themselves
heal conditions that in the past
would have sent them to a
doctor. It is important for Yoga
teachers to be aware of the
structure and function of the
body, in health and in dis-ease,
in order to provide their
services safely to their
students.
This course will enhance
participants' knowledge of the
inner workings of the human
body, with particular attention
to joint structure and function,
providing ways to enhance the
safety of their teaching.
Anatomical variations will be
discussed as an opening to the
range of possibilities in Yoga
postures.
Arturo translates the scientific
knowledge of the body into a
usable and interesting format
that will appeal to those who
may not feel comfortable in a
traditional Western anatomy
course. He offers "scientific"
affirmations for why Yoga works
so well.
Therapeutic Yoga with Cheri Clampett and
Arturo Peal
The Therapeutic Yoga Training
Program began in 1998 as a
continuing education course to
teach physical therapists,
registered nurses, certified
yoga teachers, and other health
care professionals how to
integrate therapeutic yoga into
their repertoire of healing
techniques.
Therapeutic Yoga, as it is
taught in this program, is a
carefully designed collection of
restorative yoga, gentle yoga,
breath work, guided meditation,
and hands-on healing. The
modalities used here are those
from the yoga tradition the
founders have determined to be
most useful in helping those
recovering from injury or
illness.
In place for over eleven years, the
program has received incredible
support from the nursing,
physical therapy, and yoga
communities. Our graduates have
applied the knowledge gained at
the trainings to a wide array of
hospital settings, clinics, and
private practice.
