Anatomy Alive

A seminar offered to Yoga Practitioners and Teachers. You’ve never had an anatomy class like this one!

More fun and information than you can shake a stick at!

Providing participants with colorful pulleys, strings, dowels, and a steel bowl, Tito leads a reconstruction of the human muscular support system of the legs, pelvis, and back. Next, using tensegrity balls, simple models of joints, and even drawing muscles on each other with washable watercolor crayons, students playfully learn and interact with their bodies in new and informative ways!

What is this Seminar?

Anatomy Alive! is a whirlwind tour of the body presented in a relaxed, comfortable, interactive studio environment. From fascia to chakras, passing through structure, musculature, joints, movement basics, and energetics, Tito gives a concise yet comprehensive and very practical overview of the body and its relationship to Yoga. A time-tested curriculum of effective body knowledge fused with experiential inquiry into the design and function of the muscular anatomy, Anatomy Alive! Is designed to empower your yogic practice with functional anatomical knowledge.

Benefit to your Yoga Studio Members

Empowered with increased understanding of their bodies, your yoga students will be more confident about their practice. They will understand corrections better, and some people report making through their plateaus more gracefully. The more confident your studio members are about their bodies, the better practitioners they can become. They may also experience fewer injuries, and a greater sense of accomplishment.

Why is Anatomy Alive! good for your studio?

The more diversity you have in class offerings, the more students you will attract. Plus, it shows your members that you care deeply about the progression of their yoga practice.
