PAST EVENTS
June 4 1-5p Anatomy Intensive 4 of 4: The Hinges at Woodlands Yoga Studio

Curious what it takes to get the heels down in down dog or a nice low chair pose? Or why the knees are so frequently injured in hip openers? What’s up with elbow hyperextension and carrying angles and how do you tell the difference? How can you best protect the wrists for vinyasa practice and arm balances? How can you get the spine to move more like a rainbow and less like a hinge? In this intensive, we will explore the joints we want to function as hinges (ankles, knees, elbows and wrists) and joints we don’t want to function as hinges (the neck and low back). This intensive is eligible for credit in WYS 300hr advanced YTT, and builds on the previous 3 in this series (BCPF, Hips and Shoulders). This intensive is designed for students who have attended all 3 of the previous in the series, but we are opening it to 1. those who have attended only 1 of the previous, 2. past students of Stefanie's workshops and intensives, 3. experienced teachers
