Yoga Anatomy and Physiology

Yoga Anatomy and Physiology is the study of the body's structure and how it functions during yoga practice. It explores the musculoskeletal, nervous, and respiratory systems, helping practitioners understand how each posture, breath technique, and movement impacts the body. Knowledge of anatomy and physiology in yoga enhances awareness of alignment, prevents injury, and promotes safe practice by recognizing individual body limitations. Understanding how the body responds to different yoga techniques also deepens the practice, allowing for greater effectiveness in achieving physical, mental, and emotional balance.
