IN-STUDIO + ONLINE
Join Hannah Andersen for a deep dive into the anatomy of the core and spinal column. This is the first session of the Unlocking Movement Potential series exploring movement availability through structure and function. Each session will support developing an applied understanding of the relationships between skeletal, muscular, nervous, and fascial systems in a specific region of the body. Through breaking down anatomical concepts into practical and digestible pieces, this workshop specifically caters to those who teach movement in group and individual settings.
The afternoon will include anatomy, theories related to structure, function, and injury, somatic exploration, facilitated discussion, and a full Citizen Sculpt practice to experience real time application of principles to teaching.
This workshop counts as 5 hours towards the Citizen Yoga 300HR Training program and Impact 50 hour yoga training. Modules are open to all experience levels and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of the practice.
Price: $90
