In this workshop we'll explore the philosophical foundations of the study of anatomy and kinesiology, and the effects of these ideas on our experiences of ourselves.

We'll take these ideas into an exploration of our 'Skeletal System' including bones, joints, and connective tissues, and of the Body-Mind Centering® ideas of "pathways of weight" and "balanced joint space".

No previous experience with yoga or anatomy is required - just curiosity and a willingness to explore!

Zoom recordings will be made available to participants.
