12. MODULE 3 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY with Andrew Williams • The human body is incredibly complex system of organs and tissues, and our understanding of these biological structures, their location and function plays an important role in being able to better craft our teaching methodology, so that we may guide and progress our students’ practice safely and with confidence. • The task of understanding the body as whole, in movement and the adaptations resulting from Yoga Practice is perhaps better undertaken if we first study the body systems individually and later the interrelationships between the systems. In fact there may be a biological glue that is part of the all the systems and organs of the body, and that is the Fascial Network.

16. Meridians & Anatomy Our energy channels (meridians) are highways in which our energy or Qi flows. Yin yoga emphasizes on long-held poses with minimal muscular effort, acts as an acupressure to help flush out any energy stagnations within our energy channels. In addition to energetic effects, Yin yoga is an ideal practice to release the fascia (body's deep connective tissue). From science to practicality, you'll learn the latest research on fascial study and the impact on fascia and our mental/emotional health. 300 Hours Yoga Teacher Training Bali 16
