Functional Anatomy Course

As instructors and students, we typically learn anatomy as a system of separate parts rather than as the interconnected continuity it is. As yoga and movement teachers, it’s imperative to have a clear understanding of how the body moves and works as a whole.

Anatomy is often taught as separate parts, but the body’s true function and resilience is shown in how it comes together. In this training, Functional Anatomy for Yoga, Movement, Performance, and Pain Specialists with Tiffany Cruikshank, you will look at connective tissue as the unifying layer of anatomy based on cutting-edge research and findings. This course brings the deeper layers of anatomy to life in a way that’s both realistic and valuable for movement professionals and will provide you with tools to support your practice and work with your clients.

This 22-hour self-paced training includes a digital manual, lectures, quizzes to test your knowledge, movement sessions that incorporate yoga and myofascial release, and homework assignments to help you integrate what you learn.
