Yoga Anatomy & Physiology Certificate – Yoga Alliance YACEP

Knowing your anatomy and physiology is fundamental if you want to gain a deeper understanding of the body and your yoga practice.

Anatomy refers to the structure of the body and the physical relationship between body parts. Physiology refers to the function of body parts and the functional relationships between them.

Teaching yoga without knowing your muscles or comprehending anatomical language is like travelling without directions; you might get where you want to go, but it will likely take longer, or you could end up lost! Your anatomy and physiology is the ‘map’ of the body; if you live and breathe your anatomy and physiology, your understanding increases tremendously.

The most fundamental principle of anatomy is that everybody’s anatomy is different.

Fortunately, you don’t need to be an expert or a scientist to have a useful working knowledge of anatomy for yoga. You just need to be curious, interested, and willing to learn.

This dynamic online course will give you a good broad understanding of 4 major systems of the body:

• Skeletal system
• Muscular system
• Nervous system
• Connective tissue system

This program is designed to be fun, interactive and educational.
