Your Body on Yoga

Season 2

Torso

In Season 2 of Your Body on Yoga, we explore the many intricacies of the torso. We begin with the anatomy of the spine—its development as well as the details of the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine. We then dive into the sacrum, pelvis, glutes, psoas, and pelvic floor before bringing it all together with a posterior chain yoga practice.

This is a very informative series about spine and the body. There are a lot of terms I am not familiar with yet and will require me to look them up. I love the knowledge you imparted in this series. Very useful for my teacher training. Thank you!
