Online Applied Yoga Anatomy - Mind Flow Harmony Yoga School In Rishikesh

Online Applied Yoga Anatomy Teacher Training

We, at Mind Flow Harmony, strongly believe that yoga teachers stand to gain a lot from the knowledge of Yoga Anatomy – enhanced safety and development for the teacher and their students, improved injury prevention, faster healing, and a more profound understanding of the philosophies of yoga – to name a few. Driven by this belief, the team at Mind Flow Harmony put together the Applied Yoga Anatomy course to guide yoga practitioners towards understanding the structure of the human body. This knowledge can automatically help them boost the effectiveness of the asanas while protecting the body from injuries in the best possible way. Between themselves, the ten modules in this course encompass the most critical human body systems and functions – the joints, the spine, the hip, the knee and ankle joints, the shoulder joint, the respiratory system & breathing, the nervous system, and nasal functions & Pranayama – where singular modules are dedicated to each system, paving the way for meaningful engagement.

In addition to exploring the human anatomy in conjunction with yoga, students will immensely benefit from:
