Advanced Skills Training: The Role of Fascia in Asana

Om Shala Yoga

Join Samantha Akers, E-RYT500, CMT, for this groundbreaking yoga teacher 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 must have their 200 hour yoga certification to attend or be a bodyworker with a personal yoga practice. 32 CEU credit with Yoga Alliance available.

Schedule: Thursday, Friday and Saturday 9am-6pm &
Sunday 9am-5pm with group dinner to follow

Pricing: $400 for the 4-day series
