Description
Description: This is live-recorded audio from “Yoga Anatomy Academy: the Lumbar Spine, SI Joints and Pelvis” Workshop recorded in October 2015 at Project Yoga Richmond. The workshop was developed and taught by Dr. Ariele Foster.
Part lecture, part practice and part discussion, this The Lumbar Spine, SI Joints, and Pelvis workshop is audio-friendly, and is one of a series of heart-centered, fun and meaningful anatomy workshops presented by Yoga Anatomy Academy. It is designed to elevate the anatomic and biomechanical understanding of yoga teachers and practitioners in a practical and functional way.
– Learn the bony structure as well as basic muscle, fascia and other soft tissue structures of the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints.
– Make sense of the region’s biomechanics – the kinematics (visible movements) and some of the arthrokinematics (joint level movements) in the context of yoga asana and functional movement
– Explore the role of the lumbar spine and the sacrum in vinyasa, standing and seated poses
– Enhancing lumbopelvic stability for a variety of conditions, for a variety of bodies
– Preparing students and ourselves for true breakthroughs (physical, knowledge-based or other!)
– Walk away with new insights to apply to your own body and your teaching and keep your practice sustainable, and you health and happy.
This workshop is geared toward yoga teachers, but welcomes all dedicated yoga practitioners.
