Anatomy of the Spine

This module walks through the structural anatomy of the spine — its curves, vertebral regions, and the surrounding musculature that supports safe, sustainable movement on the mat. You'll learn how spinal mechanics inform cueing for forward folds, backbends, and twists, so you can guide students (or your own practice) with greater anatomical precision. Part of the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training's Anatomy & Physiology for Yogis curriculum strand.
