Why anatomy matters in Asana?
- Alignment: Understand how bones and joints should relate to each other.
- Muscle engagement: Know which muscles are contracting, lengthening, stabilising.
- Breath: Understand how the position of the spine, ribs, and diaphragm can influence breathing.
- Individual differences: Every body has different proportions, mobility, and limitations, so one alignment cannot suit everyone.
- Better teaching: Instead of simply saying “go deeper,” you can explain what should move, what should stabilize, and why.
-Mind–body awareness: Anatomy gives students a clearer understanding of what they are experiencing physically🌺
