WE ALL KNOW THE POSITIVE effectsyoga can have our

physical and mental health. And we love it because

it’s one form of exercise that doesn’t discriminate –

anyone can do yoga, from young to wise! But what if

we thought about each individual’s body during their

practice? What if we thought about their injuries,

medical status and goals in coming to yoga? The

exercises we pick and the sequence that we teach

them in can have a profound impact on our bodies.

Understanding anatomy and

physiology can be overwhelming

for yoga students and teachers,

but it’s essential to avoid injury

and ensure you’re getting the

most our of your practice.
