Integral Anatomy for Yogis

Starts July 2 ~

This 55-hour online program is designed for aspiring and current yoga teachers looking to deepen their understanding of the human form. Led by Gil Hedley, PhD and Rachel Scott (E-RYT 500, MSci, LMT), this is the yoga anatomy program to be presented from an Integral Anatomy perspective and is based on Gil's decades of experience in the lab. Integral Anatomy asks us to look at the whole: to see connections, continuities and relationships. Starting from an appreciation for the individual, Integral Anatomy honors uniqueness and separation without seeking to divide.

What You'll Get

This 18-course program is designed to support yoga and movement workers to integrate anatomy into their practices, teachings, and lives from an Integral Perspective. You'll gain:

  • An Integral Perspective of human anatomy, prioritizing relationships, continuities, and connections,

  • A deep appreciation for the human form in all of its variations and diversity,

  • Ability to describe the structure, properties, movement potentials, and relationships of the five layers of the body: skin, superficial fascia, perifascia, deep fascia, and muscle layer,

  • Ability to describe the structure, properties, movement potentials, and relationships of the various organs,

  • Ability to describe the structure, properties, movement potentials, and relationships of the body’s three trees: the heart tree, nerve tree, and bone tree,

  • Insight and practice in applying Integral Anatomy principles to the safe practice of hatha and vinyasa yoga,

  • Live Zoom meetings so that you can connect with Gil, Rachel, and peers, and dive deeper into your understanding of the human body,

  • 55 hours of available CE credits from Yoga Alliance.
