Essential training for all students and teachers of yoga.

After these workshops you will be able to practice more effectively, kindly and with an informed curiosity about what is happening in your practice.
You will also understand why different kinds of breathing bring different physical and emotional benefits. There will be theory, model-making and exploratory practices to integrate and embody your learning.
Loved Dyana’s passion for this subject. Particularly in terms of muscular anatomy and the actions they cause. Great to be given the opportunity to look at a posture, work out the active (eccentric/concentric) muscles and their corresponding actions. Having the skeletons and plasticine helped to bring some of the muscles to “life” in terms of their origins, insertions, actions. – Katrina Tanner 2016
Anatomy is probably my favourite subject! Dyana is incredibly knowledgeable and shares her enthusiasm infectiously! Great combination of talk and practical. – Sarah Ford 2016

Human Anatomy & Physiology: focus on the Organ Systems
Cells, connective tissue including fascia, cartilage and bones, plus muscle, digestive, cardiovascular, lymphatic and respiratory systems.
A detailed and fascinating investigation into the human body. Practical and experiential explorations in each session integrate and explore the material covered.
These workshop contain knowledge that is essential for all students and teachers of yoga. You will understand why you do what you do in yoga, you will understand why yoga is so good for your health, and how to increase its benefits.
I found it absolutely fascinating to learn how and why the body works as it does. Everything was relevant, Dyana related each and every aspect we covered right from the cells to how they relate to the practice of yoga. This knowledge will definitely make me a better teacher, and there are many ways that I will be able to integrate it into my teaching. I found Dyana really inspirational. – Juliet Slovgrove 2016
