Karin Gurtner – Anatomy 201

It’s an art and a science. For a 6-week course in functional anatomy, join Karin Gurtner, founder and principal educator of art of motion training in movement and developer of Anatomy Trains in Motion. You will learn to move with more awareness from head to toe by studying muscles in motion. You will explore and improve your strength, flexibility, and kinesthetic sense through contrasting movement practices.

It doesn’t always help you establish a healthy degree of dynamic stability and balanced flexibility between myofascial units when you practice yoga.
