The “Anatomy & Physiology for Yoga Teachers” course, guided by Dr. Shashirekha C. K., blends the ancient science of yoga with the modern understanding of the human body. This program is carefully crafted to equip yoga practitioners, teachers, and enthusiasts with the foundational knowledge of anatomy and physiology, enabling them to teach and practice yoga safely, effectively, and confidently.
You will learn how various systems of the body—musculoskeletal, respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, and nervous—interact with yogic practices. The course emphasizes injury prevention, alignment correction, breath awareness, and the physiological impact of asanas, pranayama, and meditation.
This is not just a theory class—it’s a practical journey that deepens your awareness of body mechanics and empowers your teaching.
