Two-thirds lecture and one-third asana practice.
Yoga Anatomy for Beginners
This introduction to anatomy will explain what makes various yoga postures work. We’ll learn to see, feel, and understand the asanas from the inside out, making practice safer and more effective. Then we’ll translate what we’ve learned into action.
