This course covers the fundamentals of anatomy and how they apply to yoga practice and teaching. You may be attending a yoga teacher training, wishing to refresh your previous anatomy study or just want to know more about the body and how to prevent injury for yourself and/or your students.
Foundational, relevant anatomy
Jean Campbell’s practical and simplified approach to anatomy, developed over 25 years of study, practice and teaching, has enabled her to structure this course in a way that is specially designed to help you integrate and comprehend the most practical aspects of anatomy study.
Each section focuses on a different part of the body, discussing bones, joints, ranges of motion, muscles and possible reasons for muscular imbalance, restrictions and pain. Principles of injury prevention will be given in a concise and practical manner - meaning that you will be able to apply this knowledge immediately into your own yoga practice and teaching.

“Many anatomy courses can be overwhelming. Often they include information that is very interesting but difficult to actually apply to your practice and feel in your body. From my perspective, if information can’t be used in your practice or teaching then it will be easily forgotten. If you can understand the information by applying it and feeling it in your own body or observing it in someone else’s body then you will retain it. I purposefully designed this course to teach you the anatomy concepts that will have the most impact on your practice and teaching.”
