Yoga Mechanics Course

Biomechanics is the study of biological systems, particularly their structure and function, using methods derived from mechanics, which is concerned with the effects that forces have on the motion of bodies. This training is perfect for all yoga teachers who want to learn more about the physical benefits of yoga and take their teachings to another level, or for those wanting to learn the fundamentals and healing qualities of yoga to benefit themselves and others.

THIS COURSE IS OFFICIALLY YACEP ACCREDITED FOR 20 HOURS CONTINUED EDUCATION

Learn the science behind this spiritual practice. Feel AND Heal.

Many yoga teachers and practitioners do not have a strong understanding of the human body, mobility and biomechanics.  They struggle with identifying the key differences between tension and compression, stressing and stretching, pain and discomfort or acceptance with their capabilities and restrictions.  This can lead to causing physical harm or causing additional injury to a person when teaching.
Here we share the knowledge of Yoga Mechanics, bust the myths of many common yoga poses and incorrect cues you have probably heard your favourite teachers say (and possibly say or think yourself!) We guide you through various techniques, exercises and functional movements that allow you to explore your body and offer an opportunity to teach others how to feel into these areas and heal at a deeper level.  These are the tools used with elite athletes, leading fitness professionals, people working with injuries or disabilities or senior citizens and can be incorporated into any yoga sequence in yoga studios, fitness centers, workplaces and clinics!
