Fascia & further anatomy CPD
This 4 day course is aimed at yoga and pilates teachers who wish to further their understanding of the moving body with a particular focus on fascia, integration, a deeper exploration of key muscles and their relationships to breath, nervous system, awareness, posture and functional movement. This accessible course will include an application of the theory to movement and embodiment as well as enhancing teaching and performance skills.
By the end of the course you will:
- Have an understanding with regards ‘what the fuzz is all about’ as we begin to journey into the world of fascia: it’s components, types, sensory function, concept of bio tensegrity, fluidity, interconnectedness and how this informs our role as a movement teacher
- Take a closer look at key muscles, their associated fascia and relationship to the nervous system and breath. In particular the psoas and diaphragms. We will practice observing the breath and cuing accordingly
- Visit stability and practice teaching, observing and cuing to enhance shoulder, spinal and pelvic stability during movement whilst allowing for fluidity with a deeper understanding of the associated anatomy.
- Consider holding patterns, protective layers and cue to encourage softening and releasing whilst observing the breath. We will explore the use of small equipment such as foam rollers and small balls to release soft tissue
- Become more familiar with the names, location and actions of muscles, the role they play and the relationship between muscles, connective tissue and fascia
- Take a closer look at the foot as an important foundation, the relationship between the feet and the hips, exercises to enhance the function of the foot, release and stimulate fascia and associated energetics
- Looked at the anatomy of the ‘second (gut) brain’, the enteric nervous system, it’s influence on our immune system and how meditation and mindfulness can have a positive influence on vagal tone, enhancing ‘gut instinct’, serotonin production and digestive health to reduce stress and anxiety
- Have received a Harmonise Training manual and links to visual aids to support your learning journey
