Touching anatomy in the context of yoga and Ayurveda

Touching anatomy - discover the body in motion

Touch, feel, palpate, press, hear, listen, turn: the tools in our anatomy/physiology course are our senses and mindfulness.
In anatomy, we look at those concepts and structures that communicate with each other directly or indirectly. It is fascinating to observe what happens inside us when we lift an arm and use it to simultaneously lift the foot on the opposite side. But we also learn to read ongoing emotional stresses from postures and, conversely, that we can even evoke altered feelings by aligning the body appropriately.
In order to intensify a massage or yoga class, be alert for injuries, or recognize limitations, we need a sound knowledge of the most important anatomical structures. However, looking at pictures does not allow us to really understand the body on different levels. It is only in playful movement that the vivid image emerges; it is only in touch that we can truly grasp the different structures.
The course thus creates a 3D view of the body and its connection to space. Ayurvedic and yogic anatomy complexes are grasped and experienced with comparative anatomy. Concepts such as dhatus or koshas become understandable when the physical and mental levels can be observed under different aspects.
