Advanced Skills Training: The Role of Fascia in Asana
Join Samantha Akers, E-RYT500, CMT, for this groundbreaking training in fascial anatomy. Based on the Anatomy Trains model by Tom Myers, this is the first time The Anatomy Trains have been blended, in detail, with Yoga Asana. With new research in the science of stretching, it is more important than ever that as yoga teachers, we are able to have an understanding of our fascial network, learning to read where restrictions live in our students and how those are holding our students back. We need more than just the same simple alignment cues for each student, viewing the body as muscle and bone. We can train our eyes to see what each body is in need of on a global level. Generally, where we think the restriction is, it isn’t. The site of pain is not likely to be what is causing pain. This groundbreaking way of viewing the body in asana, will keep teachers in the top of their field and keep students safer and happier in their practices.
What you will learn in this 4 day intensive:
-How muscles really work
-What happens in a stretch
-Properties of fascia
-Introduction to Anatomy
-“Anatomy Trains” lines of fascia: Superficial & deep front & back lines, lateral line and spiral line
-Full body reading techniques
-Applications in Asana
-Hands on Practice
-Sequences to help work with specific patterns/restrictions
This will be full of eye opening lecture, demonstration and lots of fun hands-on practice. Students can be yoga teachers or be a PT, OT, CMT/bodyworker or a student with a strong yoga practice.
