This course in Prajna Yoga (the Yoga of Insight) is an in-depth study of the root teachings of the yoga practice. We investigate the foundational teachings of the Buddha on impermanence and compassion (metta) along with the principle yoga teachings on death and samadhi from the Upanisad and Yoga Sutras.

Anatomically we begin with the root of the body, the feet and begin with the premise “the feet are the foundation to the temple of the body”. We identify the feet as the first chakra, and detail the myofascial connection between the feet, ankles, knees, hip rotatores, pelvic floor and lumbar spine.

The emphasis for the week is standing poses and how to align and articulate the legs. We study the the interior and exterior leg and note develop the crucial link between the inner leg and the ilio-psoas along the front spine. We use a full size skeleton, anatomical drawings and images from Eastern art to enrich the study.

Includes anatomy training manual. Please bring mat, block, blanket and 8 ft. strap.

Each day of anatomy will include an asana practice from 9:30-11 am and a 1-1/2 hour lunch break from 12:30-2 pm.

Counts as 24 hours toward: Yoga Alliance Anatomy Requirement; Prajna Yoga Teacher Training; Moksha Yoga Center Teacher Training; Prairie Yoga Teacher Training. Please ask for more information.

The course is expected to fill quickly so please register early!
