Proprioception and Fascia

How is your proprioception doing these days? Try this common experiment: sit with eyes closed and touch the tip of your right forefinger to the tip of your nose.

Functional Anatomy – Advanced Study
In-person, July 3-7, 2023 in Vancouver, Canada
With Bernie Clark

Sold out — Waiting List only

This understanding is important not only for yoga students and teachers but anyone who helps people move functionally. The term “functional” is used to contrast this approach to instructions and alignment which focus on “aesthetics,” which is a pre-conceived notion of how people should look rather than what actually works for them.
