Anatomy Trains in Yoga - Mapping the Interconnectedness of the Body

Join Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains, for an online course that will give you new insights into the interconnectedness of the body as it relates to your yoga practice.

While traditional anatomy is static, Anatomy Trains shows you the body as an interconnected whole. We do not move via individual muscles as traditional anatomy has it, Tom explains. Rather, movement patterns are transmitted seamlessly from muscle to muscle through the bodywide fascial fabric.

Anatomy Trains offers a unique map of this ‘anatomy of connection,’ which focuses on whole-body fascial and myofascial linkages rather than individual muscles and bones. Learn how muscles are joined into functional complexes within fascial planes – resulting in integrated whole-body patterning in posture and function.

With Tom as a guide, this course offers an opportunity to develop your body reading skills and learn how different yoga postures are affected by the different fascial meridian lines.

Anatomy Trains offers a new perspective - understanding the 'Superficial Back Line,’ for example, gives insights into hamstring problems that one cannot get from considering hamstrings alone. Similarly, the 'Spiral Line' shows how to resolve rotational compensations in a way that no analysis of any single muscle can give.

Whatever your movement modality – yoga, yoga therapy, Pilates, or personal training, this is a course not to be missed! Anatomy Trains offers skills to see the roots of movement limitations and structural compensations more effectively in your own yoga practice or that of clients and yoga students.​​
