CORE MUSCLE ANATOMY
with Kriota Willberg
Four Wednesday evenings 5pm-8pm (August 20, 27, Sept 3, 10); or two Sundays 9am-5pm (June 22, 29) (September 7, 14)
$350

This course explores musculoskeletal anatomy emphasizing the trunk, hip, shoulder girdle, arm, and neck, and basic principles of kinesiology in these areas, as they relate to the teaching and practice of Pilates, yoga, and bodywork. Class is presented in a lecture-style format. In addition to the course workbooks and overheads, Kriota palpates and draws muscles, bones, and ligaments on a live model. As the model moves his/her body on equipment or on the mat, we have an opportunity to appreciate the anatomical model in a three dimensional form as we examine the way these muscles shorten, lengthen, and stabilize joints. Issues such as core stability, common tension patterns, and the body as a weight-bearing structure in gravity will be addressed and investigated. Students will also palpate the superficial skeletal features and muscles of the core for a deeper, hands-on understanding. Correct alignment and injury recovery are discussed.
