Touching anatomy in the context of yoga and Ayurveda

Touching anatomy - discover the body in motion

Touching, feeling, palpating, pressing, hearing, listening, turning: the tools in our anatomy/physiology course are our senses and mindfulness.
In anatomy, we examine the concepts and structures that communicate with one another directly or indirectly. It’s fascinating to observe what happens inside us when we raise an arm and simultaneously lift the foot on the opposite side. But we also learn to interpret ongoing emotional stress through body postures—and, conversely, that we can even evoke changes in our emotions by properly aligning the body.
To enhance a massage or a yoga class, to be mindful of injuries, or to recognize limitations, we need a solid understanding of the most important anatomical structures. However, simply looking at images does not allow us to truly understand the body on various levels. It is only through playful movement that a vivid picture emerges; only through touch can we truly grasp the different structures.
The course thus fosters a 5D perspective on the body and its connection to space. Ayurvedic and yogic anatomical concepts are explored and experienced through comparative anatomy. Concepts such as dhatus or koshas become understandable when the physical and mental levels can be observed from various perspectives.
