Gary Carter's
YOGA & ANATOMY Series for Teachers

An 8-weekend course starting on 1st May 2010
Structural, Functional, and Experiential Anatomy for Yoga

Gary Carter shows how a thorough knowledge of anatomy can help teachers to make intelligent choices about the way they teach their pupils. His workshops involve the use of props, illustrations, and hands-on work in class to help demonstrate the principles that underlie asana practice. This course of experiential anatomy will run for nine weekends at:
The Yoga For Harmony Centre, Windsor

The Yoga & Anatomy series
This 8 weekend course explores the anatomy of movement in relation to asana practice, movement analysis, 3-D work, and experiential anatomy. It will encourage teachers to 'see' their students more clearly, thus helping with rehabilitative issues. The course aims to help teachers take a flexible, intelligent approach to yoga with individual students.
