A 5-part course starting in March 2023 • Kiel, Germany
Structural, Functional, and Experiential Anatomy for Yoga & Pilates Teachers and Manual Therapists (and trainee teachers in the final year of training)
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 your movement practice. This course of experiential anatomy will run for ten weekends.
THE ANATOMY SERIES
In the new format for Europe, this 5-part course explores the anatomy of movement in relation to 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 their specific field with individual students.
