A functional anatomy of yoga
A WEEKEND WITH GODFREY DEVEREUX
A Functional Anatomy of Yoga Teaching ONLINE
WITH GODFREY DEVEREUX
4-5 September 2021: 10-1 & 3.30-6pm each day
How to teach anatomy to your students experientially.
When anatomy is learned from books it remains abstract information. It satisfies the mind but has no direct effect on the body or practice. There is a much more effective, and simpler, way to learn the anatomy necessary to yoga posture practice. One which directly and immediately supports the safety and effectiveness of yoga posture teaching and practice This way involves using the functional anatomy of the body to structure your classes and refine your language. Then you can develop classes that engage, open and integrate the body gradually and safely while allowing your students to stay in the experiential domain of the body, without engaging their minds. This will allow both them and you to remain more fully embodied and less susceptible to distraction.
Godfrey is also delivering his embodied resilience workshop on Friday 3rd September. You can book both the functional anatomy training and the embodied resilience workshop from this page for £180.

Hi, I'm Debbie Farrar of Feel Now Yoga. I am British Wheel of Yoga qualified & an Independent Yoga Network Yoga Elder. I have been teaching yoga since 1999 and practising since 1977. I draw inspiration for my teaching from nature and my own teachers; Godfrey Devereux, Peter Blackaby and the late Swami Satya Premananda (Satyananda Yoga).
My partner Ross Dixon & I teach yoga classes online & around Brampton, Carlisle, Haltwhistle and Alston. I offer private yoga & meditation tuition in your own home.
We serve a diverse variety of user groups, but specialise in sensible therapeutic yoga which consists of soothing movements to ease away aches and pains, help with joint & muscular problems, stress, depression and anxiety and help you get a good night's sleep.
I also teach a couple of dynamic yoga classes a week, which are slow flow functional movement classes, & my partner Ross’s classes are Functional Yoga. All our classes are mixed ability sensible yoga classes suitable for all abilities including beginners. We prefer inclusivity over exclusivity!
Our yoga teaching provides a supportive framework within which each individual can explore what their own body needs. Feel Now Yoga is an invitation to tune into and trust your own feelings; using posture practice (asana), somatic movements, breath exploration (pranayam) and meditation to reclaim a balanced, harmonious and honest dialogue between Body and Mind.
Debbie also delivers Yoga Foundation Courses & Teacher Trainings. These are online & in person in chorley, Lancashire & Brampton, Cumbria. Foundation courses help you set up your own home practice & take around 6 months & are a good preparation for training to teach yoga.
Our yoga teacher training courses are in-depth 300 hour courses that take between 12-18 months. Our next IYN Yoga Teacher Training Course starts in January 2022. See the Feel Now Yoga website for details & requirements.
There are now dozens of Feel Now Yoga Teachers throughout Lancashire, Yorkshire, Merseyside, Manchester, Cumbria & Wales. As well as a few in Scotland, down south & abroad, so if you cannot find a class that suits you, let us know & chances are we can put you in touch with a teacher in your area.
