Knowledge: On completion of this course you will be able to:
YOUR SKILLS WILL ALSO INCLUDE:
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?
Modes of delivery for the course include lectures, theory, slide presentations, multimedia, 3d models and props, interactive practical and functional work, movement work, hands on work and touch skills, discussions and illustrations.
There are continuous assessments throughout the duration of the course with Journals to be kept on the experiences and learnings on the course, practical homework assignments, (no written homework) quizzes and presentations. The final 2 weekends create four days of body reading practices, a revision of the entire course with an ability to understand postural and movement imbalances and fluidity.
To qualify for this course you will need to have completed or almost completed a Teacher Training course in Yoga or other movement practice, with a daily movement practice as part of your routine. Some teaching experience is preferred but not essential. An assumed basic level of Anatomy is essential.
Important to note: this course does not come with a manual. It’s essentially an experiential course, and note taking is encouraged. You will emerge from this course having embodied what you have learned.

Knowledge: On completion of this course you will be able to:
- Understand the complexity of the human structure, how it evolved, and postural tendencies, and learn to see patterns and structure.
- Understand how the connective tissue system affects the body in general and specific movement, learning to body read in movement and stasis.
- Relate physical aspects of the body to the improvement of posture and movement quality
- Appreciate how body balance, from a structural viewpoint, is achieved
- Appreciate the inter-relationship between each system/network of the body
YOUR SKILLS WILL ALSO INCLUDE:
- Explaining and demonstrating your understanding of the physical structure of the body.
- Recognising postural deviations, restriction and imbalance of connective tissues within differing bodies.
- Analysing movement through a scientific base, which in turn can improve movement function.
