C Yoga and the Physical Body

Catalog description

Term hours: 36 lecture and 54 laboratory. This course is an introduction to anatomy and physiology of yoga, critically observed through the practical application of asana (postures). We will look at asana through the principles of effort and ease: what are the key musculoskeletal areas in use during asana, and what is implied by effort and ease as a synthesis for exploring and returning to homeostasis in the body.
