Workshop Overview
This Living Anatomy class provides students with an in-depth introduction to functional anatomy as it is related to all systems in the human body. It is a way for student-teachers to begin to see themselves and the “bodies” they are teaching in a new way; as such, it will offer students a way to re-orient themselves so that their seeing comes from the body and not so much the mind. In each class, there will be time set apart for questions related to asana and how to deal with injury or limitations in a public clas
About Meg
Living Anatomy is taught by Meg Whitbread. Meg Whitbread, director and co-founder of The Yoga Loft, grew up with a variety of Eastern practices, including yoga, but only began formally studying in the last ten years. She sees an embodied approach to yoga as an effective tool for personal development and believes that bodywork can often help to heal the separation between body and mind. Her interest in bodywork and Ayurvedic medicine grew out of a desire to help students have more ease not only in their practices but more importantly, their lives. Meg has studied with Pratichi Mathur, an Ayurvedic practitioner who hails from a 900-year lineage and also studies and apprentices with Dr. Ron Harwin, both of whom consider the body as a vessel waiting for transformation. The class will provide students with a basic way to understand the functionality of the body and will also show students how to work with their own bodies and their own perception to see the bodies that they are teaching.
