Physiology General
Anatomy & Physiology
Overview
In this lesson, we present a foundational overview of physiology as it relates to yoga, covering how practice supports health and how trauma affects the body's capacity for wellness.
Objective
Gain understanding of the key physiological concepts that underpin yoga's impact on health, including how the body responds to both supportive practices and the lasting effects of trauma.
What You'll Get
This is your entry point into the physiology side of yoga education. You'll get a grounded introduction to how yoga interacts with the body's systems, from everyday health maintenance to the more nuanced territory of trauma and its physiological footprint. The material is organized to build your knowledge progressively, giving practitioners a deeper respect for what's happening beneath the surface and giving teachers and therapists a reliable framework for informed, responsible instruction.
