Eastern Anatomy:
Comprehension and Technique
A Deeper Understanding of the Essence of Yoga for Teachers and Interested Students
with Prem Siri Kaur

The eastern anatomy system refers to the complex configurations which are the human energy system.  These include but
are not nearly limited to the chakras & nadis. Bhanda, mudra and mantra are sophisticated yogic techniques to tap,
connect, control, alter at will, and improve the functioning of this energy system through the 'vehicle' known as our physical
body. In deep, concentrated and enlightened states of awareness the yogis
    could see clearly these systems and how to effect them to work optimally. They
    concluded that the physical body and energy body were reflections of each other. The
    energy body, however, has the distinct advantage of being unlimited and
    unencumbered by the laws of the physical reality. Therefore, it is the preferred method
    of yogis to focus on the energy body in order to realize the essence of who and what
    we really are.

    This course will encompass the following practical applications:
    · Location and complete understanding of the chakras & the 3 major nadis
    · Asana, bhanda mudra & mantra for the chakras
    · Understanding kundalini energy in a hatha yoga practice
    · How to achieve better health through controlling the nadis
    · Practical applications, demonstrations and fun activities
    for working with these ancient techniques safely & effectively
    · Learn to "read" the energy body and thereby improve your and/or
    your students’ experience within a yoga practice
    · Sequencing a hatha yoga practice with a chakra theme (all seven
    chakras!)
    · How to prevent injury with Bhanda practice
    · Understanding why mudras work
    · How to share mantras with confidence and effectiveness

Chakras & Nadis
In this workshop, we will learn in detail about the seven main chakras, the three main nadis, and their connection to the
kundalini force. In addition to understanding location, gland & nerve relationships, colors, frequencies, etc., we will also learn
asana that benefit the various chakras, paring of the chakras for specific benefit in a yoga sequence, and sequences for
the individual chakras. This class will provide a thorough workout for the physical body and pranayam for refreshment of the
energy body.
