Tom Myers – Anatomy 101

Description

Anatomy 101, You’ll learn a new way of seeing anatomical patterns through Tom Myer’s unique approach to body reading and postural assessment, and you’ll discover how yoga, movement, and fascial release might be best used to unwind those deeply ingrained patterns and invite structural and functional integration. The result: increased vitality, balance, grace, and ease.

While this course is guided by Myers’ pioneering work on anatomy trains, it is not an online companion to his book. Rather, this course applies the wisdom of Myers’ system to reading bodies, cueing poses, and teaching and practicing yoga.

Who is Tom Myers?

This seven-week introduction to fundamental anatomy is led by Tom Myers, the author of Anatomy Trains. This course will facilitate the acquisition of anatomical knowledge in a practical, relational, and holistic manner for both yoga teachers and students. You will commence with a novel approach to mapping the body in terms of cells, the fascial fabric, and the neuromuscular system, which establishes the groundwork for kinesthetic literacy. Tom teaches you how to recognize common postural patterns and strategies for cueing to awaken portions of the body that may require work. From the arches of the feet and legs, you will continue to the fans of muscle around the hip, adductors, and psoas. You will then explore deep breathing, which involves the abdomen, diaphragm, and rib basket. You will travel along the springy spine, observe how the shoulders drape over the ribs, and conclude with the neck, head, and jaw. This course explores the question of how we are shaped and what influences us.
