Anatomy, Physiology, and Biomechanics for Yoga Practice
About this course
By the end of this course, you will (1) understand human anatomy and biomechanics in yoga practice and (2) apply that knowledge to improve alignment, safety, and performance. Dr. Constance Bradley, L.Ac., PhD, combines her expertise in yoga and biomedical sciences to deliver a course that connects structure and function in motion. Through video instruction you’ll explore how bones, joints, and muscles interact in asanas and learn to cue, modify, and assess movement intelligently. This course’s strength lies in translating complex anatomy into practical guidance for teaching and self-practice. Learners will develop the confidence to use anatomical reasoning to enhance posture safety, prevent injuries, and optimize movement efficiency for diverse populations.
