Your Body on Yoga

Season 1

Introduction to Anatomy

In Season 1 of Your Body on Yoga we dive into an introduction of the bones, muscles, and movement through the context of yoga philosophy. You will feel a spark of curiosity as we continue into an exploration of the magnificence of the body. This is so much more than an anatomy course.

Kristin Leal welcomes us to reconnect, reintegrate and find joy and reverence for our muscles, bones, and heart.
