About this yoga anatomy immersion
In terms of practice, we will modify the practice to make it accessible to your physicality and limitations, whilst pushing boundaries to challenge your physical practice.
The course will focus on the muscular-skeletal system with an in depth study of the hip joint and pelvis. In understanding how the our muscles work, we can gain insight into stretching, both actively and passively. Above all, the days will include a 2 hour Ashtanga practice, The Anatomy Workshop with Julia and Stretch Lab with Andrea.
The training focused on assisted stretching for the Ashtanga Primary Series. I walked away with so much more confidence, precision and insight into how to support and stretch students safely and effectively. I especially enjoyed the morning Ashtanga practice as it really completed the course and helped integrate everything we were learning. Whether you are an experienced teacher or looking to deepen your practice, I can’t recommend this course enough.

Julia’s teachings and guidance has been integral for developing my yoga practice and she has been so supportive to me! Practicing with Julia has injected fresh inspiration and fun into my yoga practice Ashtanga, and I’m always learning something new in such a fun way, as well as strengthening parts of the body which were neglected by solely practicing Primary Series alone.
