teacher's intensive

breathing: anatomy & practice
friday 2/5/2010, 2 - 5 pm — $75
Yoga and other disciplines teach a lot of different breathing techniques, but they all rely on the same anatomical structures to move air in an out of the body. This class will help you get the most out of any breathing system by teaching you how these structures work and how to use them to get the effects you want. It will give you a firm foundation in the mechanics of breathing, including the dynamics of the lungs, airways, diaphragm, ribcage, the many muscles that move the ribcage, abdominal movements, and related topics. This is much more than just a step-by-step anatomy lesson: you will manually locate many of the relevant muscles, bones, cartilages, etc. on your own body, feel how they work, and use them in new and sometimes surprising ways to modify your breath. The class will include instructions on how to keep your practice safe and comfortable, how to deepen your existing practice, and how to intelligently explore the broad and powerful world of breath-based techniques. Asana & lecture for teachers and serious students of yoga.
